Hi James
Ive setup a windows 2003 guest and thought id do a performance
test.
Nework is great, much faster.
When i run nbench and do an i/o test on the disk using a 100mb thread
i get much slower performance using the GPLPV drivers than i do when not using
them. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
Thanks
Ian
The
impression I get is that before installing GPLPV, many benchmarks on Windows
get "tricked" by some sort of caching effect on the dom0 side. If you
try a more realistic test you will probably find that performance is actually
better.
