[Xen-users] major slow down with xen implementation

[Geoffrey <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have some fairly robust hardware we are trying to set up a number of 
para-virtual servers in a clustered environment and we are seeing huge 
cpu issues.  Specs:
Dell 1950: 8 1u servers
cpu MHz : 2660.038
dual quad cores
32G memory each

Our first virual server was configured to use 8G and 4 cores.

I tried running a quick test by compiling our application, simply 
running 'time make.'  The results were terrible:
real    0m56.79s
user    0m26.53s
sys     0m35.46s

In comparison, my laptop (Intel Core2 Duo CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2G mem):

real    0m42.99s
user    0m29.85s
sys     0m6.47s

We then reconfigured the virtual server to use a single core and the 
results were almost identical to the 4 core test.
Any insights as to what our problem might be would be greatly appreciated.
