Hi, Alex,
        Could you provide something about your test environment, 
and then I can try identical steps as yours to see what's the 
bottleneck? For example:
        - dom0 memory size
        - domU memory size
        - How do you measure the network throughput?

        BTW, Isaku's patch is upon Rev 9492, and then I'll also 
measure upon that version.

Thanks,
Kevin
