Hi Ian,
I am running JAVA applications and its performance is very poor, too.
To solve it, you can try setting the CPU_UNITS to other number, for
example (i am using now) CPUUNITS="100000".
Maybe you've problems with memory. In this case, you can see the
/prov/user_beancounters file and update its parameters.
You look the "maxheld" and "held" columns. If maxheld is equal to held
(or nearly), you must update the "barrier" and "limit" for this
paramenter ("resource").
Thats all ...
Sorry .. my english isn't so good =(

Hi all,
A friend recently wanted to do some rendering, so I setup him up a VPS
quickly on an idle machine for him to render on.... however - it didn't
go so well.
Here's the output of dstat with the rendering goign on in VE0 (the host).
----total-cpu-usage---- -disk/total -net/total- ---paging-- ---system--
usr sys idl wai hiq siq|_read write|_recv _send|__in_ _out_|_int_ _csw_

As you can see, it's using most of the CPU (there's 2 hyperthreading
xeons in this machine), and all is well. The render completes in about
30 minutes.
However... here's what happens when I run ths render inside a VE
----total-cpu-usage---- -disk/total -net/total- ---paging-- ---system--
usr sys idl wai hiq siq|_read write|_recv _send|__in_ _out_|_int_ _csw_
18 1 81 0 0 0| 22k 626k| 0 0 | 0 0 | 234 971

1 0 99 0 0 0| 0 0 |1935B 3730B| 0 0 | 116 10k
Notice the stupidly high number of context switches (last column). The
render on the VE is estimated to take about 10 times longer...
# in=spaceinvader.flam3 format=png transparency=false prefix="renderc"
verbose=1 flam3-render
Automatically detected 4 core(s)...
chaos: 0.5% ETA: 286.5 minutes
Can anyone suggest why this is?
