Hmm I've to say I'm a little bit disappointed about the networking 
performance.. On a 100mbit link I can't get more than 4.5MB/s and the CPU 
is being _very_ busy at that moment. Isn't there any trick to improve 
performance, my guess it's the tun/tap driver which causes major overhead.

Other than that, it seems that Xen beats Vmware (at least the beta server 
version) which is very surprising. Can't yet say anything something about 
the stability, maybe the networking driver will freak out after a period of 
intensive load..

I'd like to hear some tips to improve the networking performance, maybe a 
module parameter for tun?
