[Xen-users] Detecting I/O contention

["John A. Sullivan III" <jsullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are experiencing cripplingly slow performance in some of our domUs on
a Xen 2.0.7 host.  There is plenty of CPU available, plenty of RAM and
plenty of disk space.  We suspect the issue is either network or disk
I/O contention.  How does one detect excessive disk or network I/O
contention in Xen?

We do notice the "event" process in the dom0 frequently consuming 40% to
50% of the CPU cycles.  I assume this is a bad thing. Is that correct?
