Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] IDE drives
This seems quiet slow.

Can you check the xen boot message for a warning if PIO is used? That
might explain. I think there was something on the xen-devel list a while
back. There might be two mentioning of PIO (or at least I think that
used to be the case) one of them might be wrong.
