Thread-topic: Restoring a DomU HVM-Domain is "slow" (Bandwidth 23MB/sec from a ramdisk, xen3.2.1)
Hi,

i do some tests with restoring HVM winxp-domU's. 

Even, if i restore a saved DomU from a ramdisk, the 
Restoring-process has only a bandwidth about 23MB/sec:

Here a example restoring an 512MB HVM opensuse10.3 DomU

Is there a possibility to speedup the restore process ? Is there such
a improvement on the roadmap ?
