I changed RX_MIN_TARGET in
linux-2.4.27-xenU/arch/xen/drivers/netif/frontend/main.c
and it made no difference at all in the 1500 byte iperf test.

" the number of interrupts per second reported by the dom0 and domU
" in each configuration.



For iperf tcp stream sent from stock linux to xenU
(2.4.27-xenU+RX_MIN_TARGET mod)


    1500 MTU: 464 Mbps

The e1000 driver is stock, so these are with the default interrupt coalescing
settings.
