Re: [Xen-users] Oracle on a classic Physical server Win2k3 versusOracle on domU win2k3




Pasi,

I just finished the swingbench test with a dedicated CPU but it's the same performance.
When i will have time, I will test on Xen 3.4.1

Have you tried pinning the guest vcpus to separate physical cores? And
dedicating a separate core for dom0?
