I hate to clutter the dev list with this question but am having a hard time finding a concrete answer to it.

Which is faster PV or HVM and why.

It seems easy but I keep running into conflicting discussions.

I am thinking that they are not that far apart but that a HVM uses more of the hypervisor resources which allows fewer machines to be virtualized on one server. I have also ran into hybrid-virtualization which did nothing more than confuse even more, as if that were possible.

Can someone point me to a *current* whitepaper or definitive article that will explain this to me.

Sorry for the noise,

Jon
