Re: [Xen-users] Xen Performance



In this example, swapping/page scanning was not an issue.

One real world example:
native Linux:           page response times of (  400ms/150ms)
[mean/standard  deviation]
Xen VM:                 page response times of (  700ms/3.5s)
[mean/standard  deviation]

In this scenario, we have mean response times that are almost 100%
worse, and the 90th percentile is 1000% worse.

Yeah, but if your average native times are 400ms, you are very likely
already hitting swap and experiencing what I would call unacceptable
performance. It's no suprise that swap on a shared device is going to be
slower than a non-shared swap.

Hm. unless that xen vm is on a xen box doing nothing else, in which case the results whould suprise me quite a lot (unless you were using HVM mode
or had less ram in the xen vm than in the native box)
