Hi Kevin,

   My dom0 memory is the default 512MB, domU is 1GB (7GB in the system,
2-way w/ default vcpu to phys cpu mappings).  My throughput test is
simply pulling a ~300MB file from a local server using wget.  Something
like:

wget -O /dev/null http://local.server/big_file

Wget provides a progress report and average throughput at the end of the
transfer.  Let me know if you get different results, I tried several
times and seemed to get consistently degraded performance with the event
callback patch.  Thanks,

        Alex
