I have setup a dom0 with 512 MByte RAM and got the following results:

                native  dom0    loss
make -j4          553s    778s  -29%
make -j2          565s  1,458s  -61% (!)
make            1,026s  1,434s  -28%

These results look quite strange to me -- the dom0 performance is worse
 than the domU one. I ran the compile sequence with '-j2' three times --
the remarkable bad result is reproducable. It would be nice if somebody
can confirm my results.

Anybody having an explanation for that?

Stephan
