Hi Alex,

Yep, I already have a patch for per domain.
I'll post it after merging to upstream.

We have an interesting result.
We tried some transaction benchmark,
for VHPT size in 512K, 2M, 4M, 8M:
 - Linux is getting a better score (totally 20% up)
 - Windows is getting a worse score (totally 10% down)

Emulating ptc_e is the villain of the piece for Windows.

We'll continue to tune up.

Thanks,
Kouya
