You can try to use unmodified_drivers (ie Paravirtual drivers) on your guest kernel. That will give much better performance compared to an emulated NIC. Emre On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:44 PM, Javier Guerra <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

depends on lots of factors. (maybe 5% slower, maybe 400% or more)
