[Xen-users] Pthreads Overhead
 
Hi all,  I have been seeing a considerable (2x-3x) overhead when using Posix pthreads and pthreads mutux synchronization on Xen dom0. I am not sure if this is an inherent overhead of Xen or a wrong configuration on my side.  
 Basically,  I run a simple benchmark to time pthread_create and pthread_mutex_lock/unlock for 200 threads and the overhead I am measuring for xen dom0 is  1.5x-2.9x relative to the non-xenified (native) performance. Can someone please confirm if they have seen similar overhead and/or shed some light on the source of this overhead  
 I am using 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64Xen with eight VCPU, and 8 physical cores/ 2 sockets and comparing it to Linux 2.6.18.8 SMP on the same machine.  This is Xen 3.2 with a credit scheduler. I am seeing this overhead for both HVM and paravirtualized Xen. Please, advise.
