Hi, Over the last year we have tried many times to get acceptable performance from pv_ops kernels. Tests done with 1,2,4 and 8 cores. The more cores the lower the score. Inside the domU it shows all cores, top -s shows all cores in use. xentop in dom0 never shows over 99% cpu. 2.6.18.8-xenU kernel show's over 700% cpu and the scores are about 8 x the pv_ops score. Any ideas ?
