Hi all,

First, I'm not sure this post should have been sent to xen-devel or here. 
Please, any list owner : forward to xen-devel if you read this and feel it 
should have gone there.

I wonder what will be the advantage, in terms of performance, of having 
optimized kernels for XenU when VT/Pacifica will be there.

AFAIK, using "standard" kernels means emulating peripherals (network card and 
so on) on dom0. Xen "optimized" or "ported" kernels should have a performance 
advantage. But has this perf increase already been evaluated ?

Question behind this : does it worth the work to port some other OSes to Xen 
architecture ?

Regards,
