Where are you running ab? What connection from test client to your xen server?
Ddoes dom0 have a dedicated CPu?

I am running ab in an external client. 1G link is used to connect from external client to web server (running inside xen guest). Dom0 have 2 dedicated cores out of 8 total.

Hi

I am running a web server in one of my xen guests. Using ab as a load generating tool i have collected some throughput data for different file sizes like 5KB, 10KB and 100KB. One thing that i have noticed strange here is throughput drops down in a virtual http server, it happends in case of 5KB and 10KB files.

Also it takes longer to run tests in virtual environment.
