 I've read "Performance Analysis and Opportunities 
for Improvecment" in Xen Summit 2007. 
  
J. Renato Santos et al. in HP Lab shows the 
siginificant CPU Cost of XenLinux. (Compare to Linux) 
I don't understand the statistics about "CPU 
Utilization". 
In my guess, 
Xenoprof supported in Xen 3.0.3 is not 
available to activate Passive Domain Mode profiling. 
So if the benchmark server is hosted by 
domU, then the CPU utilization means the summation of cycles 
reported from dom0 and domU 
individually. 
Comparing with the results hosted by Linux, it is 
three times longer. 
  
I don't know if the guess condition is 
wright. 
But I still not figure out how the improvement benefit network 
throughput. 
Is it because lower CPU utilization higher packet process rate?? 
Why not show network throught directly??
