Chandru,
The memory seems to be (almost) equally splitted between dom0 and the
guest, and you have plenty of it.
But I think I got the explanation to your issue:
domU has only one VCPU, while dom0 has 8 CPUs; since I/O activity is
likely not to span across multiple CPUs, you have the following:
domU: 1 cpu (of 1) waiting 100% for I/O => 100% overall IOwait
dom0: 1 cpu (of 8) waiting 100% for I/0 => 1/8 * 100% overall IOwait
I think 1/8 * 100% is exactly your 12%
Cheers,
Radu
