That's a really broad question. I think the best source of quantitative data would be to look for spec benchmarks run by vendors.

Subjectively, I have never used a FV VM that feels native. Also some of the early xen papers might measure this delta.

Hey,

I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 with FV mode.

I use this server for web server (command line mode only, no X window)

So should I hack my current installation into a PV mode for production use?

In fact, any min. performanc gain suppose I should get? (Any bechmark?)

Thanks.
