I played around with 'xm list' but soon ran into problems. I'm not
sure if this is specific to a particular CPU scheduler, or a general
problem that others have noticed too.

Right now I have xen (booted using sched=atropos) running two VMs,
each running a CPU intensive job. However, the cpu-time (as reported
by xm list -l) does not seem to be changing *at all*, even across runs
lasting for minutes. The uptime gets updated properly, though.

Is this a known issue?
