Tested and working on Xen, but only on the dom0 is usable. Even if it
is possibile to "use" the pci bus from a DOMU. I tested a 4S0 board
and in domu worked fine, but only with visdn, with misdn no way to
reach somehing usable. The BIG problem is the unhappy visdn driver (i
use a personal patched version working but incomplete and not stable
so not to be placed in production).
In the dom0 i found a near "no-xen" performance, no problems even with
misdn so working great.

I think the big problem is related to the "poor" realtime performance
of XEN under load.

:-)

I think that the poor performance of Vmware is also a bottleneck so
dont'think this can be a solution.

Bye.
