I now reverted:
   http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=f1e0df14412ccc6933a68eda66ac5b7d89186b62
   http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=644e6c5c7106d276fb750daf6e07de0034b2e76a

and benchmark times improve but are no longer reproducable (either 3:36 or 5:09 instead of 6:xx with untouched 4.2.4).

Xen 4.3.3/4.4.1/4.5.0 have performance nearly identical to 4.2.3.

System:
   Mainboard Supermicro X9SCM-F, BIOS 2.1
   Adaptec 5405, one Raid 0
   Xeon E3-1230
   16 GB ECC non-registered
   dom0 kernel is mostly vanilla 3.10.44
   VT-d is turned off in the BIOS

"linux compile" HVM has 2 vCPUs and 2000 MB RAM

Regards Andreas
