Vs e1000...
Following was the test result...
Copying 1GB file
real 3m48.284s
user 0m0.072s
sys 0m8.609s
Though a bit lesser then RealTek, it isn't much.. It seems i will have to
wait for VirtIO drivers...
If you or anyone else has any ideas on how to improve network performance
then please do share..
BTW where can I check when windows binary will be ready as I would like to
give it a shot?
Thanks and Regards
