Paravirtualisation or not?

Hey,

I am comparing Xen and KVM to see which one is suitable for me usage.


>From the FAQ: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/FAQ#What_is_the_difference_between_kvm_and_Xen.3F

It said:

>> kvm does not support paravirtualization for cpu but may support paravirtualization for device drivers to improve I/O performances.


Do does it mean using paravirtualization is good? So Xen is faster if
we can are running modified OS which support paravirtualization?


In fact, we have tried Xen, running CentOS 5.0 on latest Intel Quad
core CPU. Performance is not bad, but already have interest in try
other solutions.
