[Xen-users] xend laggggg!



I'm having odd issues with xend.  Here is my current setup

Dual Xeon with HT enabled, 8GB of ram, 3ware 9550 controller in a raid 10 
config with 6 300GB drives. Dom0/U and Hypervisor all build with PAE 
enabled.  I started 40 DomU's with 128MB of ram running ttylinux off a LVM 
(seperate LVM per domU).  All of the DomU's are in a blocked state and CPU 
time on all of them is under 0.5... so they are basically all IDLE.

Now for the problem, i first noticed that xm list was a bit slow and 
discovered that it was taking about 3-5 seconds to display output.  I 
decided to play with xm vcpu-pin and set all 4 dom0 vcpu's to cpu0, xm 
vcpu-list took over 5 minutes to run!  I then decided to pin all of dom0's 
vcpu's to cpu1 since all the domU's where using only 1 and 3.  A xm 
vcpu-list then made the box unresponsive, i didnt have a serial in it and 
the monitor wouldnt wake up so i couldnt get a output (if it panic'd). 
Rebooted, this time trying to see if leaving domU on all cpu's changed 
anything, and now it only took 15ish seconds..  Next i tryed setting all 
domU's to cpu 3 and all Dom0 cpu's to 1 and xm vcpu-list then took 2 
minutes...   Last i booted dom0 with the maxcpus=1 and now dom0 only see's 1 
cpu (hypervisor i assume see's only 1 also because it doesnt assign guests 
to any other cpu but 0 and i cant pin them either) got the same results, 
very slow!

also shutting down 40 guests creates a ton of child processes of xend... :)
