Xen 3.3 should be an improvement with shadow3 right?
As other people already said, shadow3 (especially the current unsync policy) was mostly developed with Windows performance in mind. I would be surprised if the shadow algorithm is causing such a performance loss though; but in any case, you can disable the out-of-sync feature by removing SHOPT_OUT_OF_SYNC from SHADOW_OPTIMIZATIONS in xen/arch/x86/mm/shadows/private.h (setting it to 0xff instead of 0x1ff), reverting the shadow code back to shadow 2 again.
Can you please test that and see if it makes any difference?
Thanks,
Gianluca
Should I need to adjust the shadow_memory parameter for the guest?
I'm going to try Xen 3.2.1 from source next.
Todd
