Any progress on the status of this post?
All in place for publication?

The postgres benchmark left me wondering why x86 is so much faster -- is that 
because it just had a better disk?
I don't think that results such as 0.4% or 0.1% are very significant.
As I wrote in the article, the overhead is so low in the disk benchmarks
that they only manage to demonstrate that one needs a fast SSD to really
show the virtualization overhead.
you should generally scale the Y axis so that the threshold of significance
is obvious to the reader.
You are right, that is a good idea, I'll make the change.


In this case, it's at 0.8 (0.8 what? percent? relative to?)
Percentage of native performance, it is written right at the beginning
of the benchmark chapter.


If it's not a significant result, then also explain that somewhere in the text 
so the reader knows the implication.  But it's better to fix the graph itself 
so that it's self-evident...
It is written right before "FIO".
