Re: [Xen-users] DomU better performance than Dom0



The benchmark I used is called UnixBench.

Hi:
I also want to measure the performance of Xenlinux, but I don't know which tools to use, would you please tell me which tool you used for the following results.
Thank you very much!!

    Hello!

    I've got an interesting performance problem, I'm running Xen 3.1 on a
    Dell with 2 x Quad-core 2.33Ghz CPUs, and 4GB RAM. Running UnixBench on
    the system without Xen the performance is pretty good, but once running
    Xen the performance drops by a large amount.

    Any insight into why the score is so much lower with Xen would be
    appreciated. (UnixBench scores at bottom)

    Thanks,
    John

    CentOS 5 without Xen
