[Xen-devel] Reduce CPU Utilization make Network Perfromance better??



I've read "Performance Analysis and Opportunities for Improvecment" in Xen Summit 2007.
 
J. Renato Santos et al. in HP Lab shows the siginificant CPU Cost of XenLinux. (Compare to Linux)
I don't understand the statistics about "CPU Utilization".
In my guess,
Xenoprof supported in Xen 3.0.3 is not available to activate Passive Domain Mode profiling.
So if the benchmark server is hosted by domU, then the CPU utilization means the summation of cycles
reported from dom0 and domU individually.
Comparing with the results hosted by Linux, it is three times longer.
 
I don't know if the guess condition is wright.
But I still not figure out how the improvement benefit network throughput.
Is it because lower CPU utilization higher packet process rate??
Why not show network throught directly??
