Unrelated, what are your smp issues?


If i use one cpu i got a good io-performance:
e.g. over 500MB/s at the profile "install" of the io-benchmark h2benchw.exe. ( aio=threads | SAS-Raid-0 | ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2benchw.zip | hwbenchw.exe -p -w iotest 0)
The same test but with two cpus gives results between 27 and 298 MB/s!

Also in real life it's noticeable not only with an benchmark. I use a win-vm with two cpu for postscript-ripping and have a performance drop due to the bad io.

What's your block device model?  virtio or ide?

What does cpu usage look like on guest or host?
