"Memory latency" seems to refer to the latency introduced by memory copy.

Sorry I don't know. you'd better think of the system as a whole.

I think the fun of doing research lies in the uncertainty and the thrill of solving problems. If there's definitive answer to this question, somebody would have done it already, right? The only viable way is to hack a prototype IMHO. Wei. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
