that "440M" is the test size? if so, it sounds too small.  it should
at least be twice (5-10x is better) the size of cache available.
remember, "file:" devices might be cached by the Dom0, "tap:" won't.
with small files it's common to see this pattern on most tests, but
won't benefit most real world uses.
