Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel] Time for hybrid virtualization?
We (myself and my colleagues at Platform Solutions) are working on this exactly.

We will send some results to the list soon, but I think we can confirm Alex's 
experience with HVM configurations. Our preliminary results are about 13-15% 
overhead.

I am racking a Montvale system in about 15 minutes to do some more benchmarks 
today.

Best regards,

---Kayvan Sylvan

Quoting Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@xxxxxx>:

Indeed, it would be useful to have benchmark in various configurations
(dom0/domU, nbr of vcpus, Montecito/Montvale).

I was puzzled by Alex's first results.

Tristan.
