RE: [Xen-devel] RE: Rather slow time of Pin in Windows with GPL PVdriver
Yeah, you're right. We have a patch in XenServer to just use the lowest
numbered vCPU but in unstable it still pointlessly round robins. Thus, if you
bind DPCs and don't set their importance up you will end up with them not being
immediately scheduled quite a lot of the time.
