Re: [Xen-devel] Xen & I/O in clusters - Single Vs. Dual CPU issue

[Keir Fraser <Keir.Fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unless your workload maxes out one of the CPUs, or doesn't play as
well as it could with the CPU scheduler. In general it's probably wise
to run your dom0 on another CPU, or at least HyperThread, from other
performance-critical VMs. 

The situation on a single CPU should be improveable with tweaking,
however.
