   It appears dom0 is not affected and has good throughput.  Here's an
interesting observation though; if I wget from dom0 and domU at the same
time, dom0 is a little slower (~82MB/s), but the domU throughput
actually increases while the wget in dom0 is running.  According to
nload, domU's throughput nearly doubles for the brief time dom0's wget
is running.  Even wget'ing a different file off the server with dom0
causes domUs wget to speed up.  Perhaps an indication that your priority
hunch is correct?  Thanks,

        Alex
