That's odd. I'll see if I can get a test Intel box tomorrow to compare
the numbers. In the mean time, what does your environment look like?
64bit? what distro and kernel version?

If possible, can you test installing RHEL/Centos 5.4 64bit dom0 and
update to Gitco's Xen 3.4.1? That's what my setup mostly like, and so
far network performance (including domU <-> domU)  has been great.
