Re: [Xen-users] CPU Usage

Have you checked that you've got the ACPI Multiprocessor driver in use in 
Windows?

In Device Manager, under the Computer node you should have 'ACPI Multiprocessor 
PC'. If instead you're seeing 'Uniprocessor PC' or similar, just update the 
driver and select the multiprocessor one instead. 

GPLPV is not needed for this, but I'd really recommend installing them for 
anywhere decent I/O performance.
