The performance loss is greater than what I have expected. Can anybody
confirm the dimension of the performance loss? Are these values normal
for a Xen setup?
 
 
Hello Stephan, hello everybody,
 I also did some performance tests. I put them on a web page so you can
have a look in order to compare with your results. The web page is
still under development and results needs a more accurate analysis but
it can give some hints. Here is the url:

 The compile tests are interesting. There is a variable being overlooked 
by everyone -- the Xen scheduler.  The SEDF scheduler is not necessarily 
the best for every workload. Would you mind re-running the first part of 
the tests (or all if you have the time), but use the BVT scheduler 
instead?  To set CPU weights you can use the cpu_weight variable in the 
domain config file (ex. cpu_weight = "2").  libxc/xc_domain.c seems to 
still use that method for setting the weight. Note it does not use 
cpu_weight for SEDF. Also, in 3.0.2 you can run "xm sched-sedf domid" to 
get settings, no need for the external sedf program.
 I am running my own tests currently, but I don't create pretty 
graphs/websites :)
Thank you,
Matt Ayres
