Sorry about the top-post. I'm not subscribed, and the new mailing list wiki
makes it impossible to guess OP addresses.
However, this is exactly what my recent post '[Xen-users] Problems with stubdoms, and xl' is about. The short answer is yes, there is no speed improvement. See the last half of Ian's answer to me, that covers this point.
Pls cc: me if you need more input. |
