[Xen-ia64-devel] Benchmarking [RFC] performance tuning TAKE 3

[Ken Hironaka <hironaka.ken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did a crude benchmark on the following patch that tries to reduce
costs with vcpu migration and physical-machine address conversion. The
benchmark was a kernel compilation. The results are by no means
definitive and serious testing requires 

patch used:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-ia64-devel/2006-08/msg00157.html

conditions:
-machine:
see file:dom0_settings

-running with 2 domUs(domU1,domU2)
settings:
memory=1024
vcpus=3
