Hello,

what are the specs of your system, how much rum and CPU do you have?
What exactly do you mean with the xm start/stop-behaviour?

Well,

when I look at xm top, the VM dont even take 1% in CPU usage most of
the time, and between 12% and 40% of the memory,
The dom0 CPU jumps to sometimes to 10%
when I can trust these values there is a lot ,more we can do on these
machines with some more RAM.


cheers
