Hello, I have server platform S5520UR, 2x Intel Xeon E5520 with Debian Squeeze.
In kvm guest with debian, I execute gbuk for firebird and he working
quickly on 1 cpu guest, than 4.
vmstat show that with 1 cpu guest 300/s interrupts, but in 4 cpu guest
interrupts over 12000/s
If run gbuk in host than interrupts ~500/s
Why multiprocessor guest has slow performance and many "Rescheduling
interrupts"?
