Re: [Xen-devel] etherbridge bottleneck
 
Whenever you see a performance problem, please describe the following things:
(1) Is Xen running on a UP, SMP or HT?
(2) If Xen is running on a SMP or HT, are xen0 and xenU running
different processors or threads?
(3) Which scheduler in Xen are you using? Have you changed any parameters?
