SNV87 HVM DomU at SNV91 Dom0 (both 64-bit) bash-3.2# bin/fork -E -C 200 -L -S -W -N fork_100 -B 100 -C 100 > /tmp/fork.output Running: fork_100 for 27.06514 seconds versus 35 sec for same HVM DomU at Xen 3.2.1 F8 Dom0 (both 64-bit) If fork_100 is a fair then SNV91 Dom0 should be better for SNV HVM guest. then Xen 3.2.1 F8 Dom0. I suspect "svcs -x" output cleaning up phase by some reason took longer at SNV91 Dom0 and confused me. > > > Should i bfu SNV87 HVM DomU to SNV91 to benefit > from MQ patch > > xen.hg/.hg/patches/enable-shadow-optimisations ? > > As far as I understand it, updating (and booting > with) the new > /boot/amd64/xen.gz file is enough.
