I've got some identical (if humble) machines... Would you want just a Xen vs. KVM? If so, what parameters or setup options would provide the best apples to apples comparison? The machines are; - quad core athlon II x4 - 4gb ddr3 - 1x 7200rom 500GB drive - Fedora 14, stripped (but identical) installs If these are too low end for useful results, let me know. Otherwise, I'll fire up Xen under Michael's 2.6.32-25-172 kernel with the stock 4.0.1 hypervisor on one machine, and can use the stock KVM/QEMU setup for another. Assuming all is fine, would it matter whether the VMs were F14 vs CentOS 5.5? I was thinking 3x runs each of; - bonnie++ - Recompile Michael's kernel - ??
