Re: [Xen-users] Is my xen-friendly glibc really faster?

I had exported nfs:/home from another domU. When I moved the home
export to dom0 performance improved a lot.
Perhaps this is because of some disk access bottleneck cause buy KDE
Dcop or IPC or Unix sockets or something when running the home is on
another domU.
What do you think?
