Thread-topic: performance breakdown with Xen 3.4.3 or 4.0.0 and xenified kernel 2.6.31-r14
Hello,

I regularly perform benchmarks of Xen/KVM systems. When Xen 3.4.3 was released 
I started another benchmark and found out that the xenified kernel 2.6.31-r14 
from Andrew Lyon had serious performance breakdowns when used with Xen 3.4.3 or 
Xen 4.0.0 but not with Xen 3.4.2. The benchmark measures compiling apache 
2.2.15 under gentoo.

What could be the reason?

date: 02.06.2010
time emerge apache 2.2.15

native 2.6.31.12-ak2
        real    0m40.736s
        user    0m41.479s
        sys     0m9.701s

2.6.31-xen0-r14-ak1 + xen 3.4.2
        real    0m54.751s
        user    0m41.839s
        sys     0m18.721s

git 2.6.32.14-pvops0 (02.06.2010) + xen 4.0.0
git 2.6.32.14-pvops0 (02.06.2010) + xen 3.4.2
git 2.6.32.14-pvops0 (02.06.2010) + xen 3.4.3
        real    0m57.769s
        user    0m44.967s
        sys     0m29.034s

2.6.31-xen0-r14-ak1 + xen 3.4.3
2.6.31-xen0-r14-ak1 + xen 4.0.0
        real    1m8.681s
