Hi,
I am student starting to work with Xen. I am using Xen 4.2.0. I am 
trying to understand the functioning of  the credit scheduler  in Xen. I 
try to modify the scheduler number of ticks per timeslice (form 3 to 1). 
I wonder that the is no difference in the scheduling of my virtual 
machines (No change in CPU allocation % and also application performance 
in the virtual machine). I just wanted to know what is the use of tich 
during time slice? Why do xen define 3 ticks per timeslice?

Out of curiosity, why are you looking at 4.2.0 instead of 4.5, or unstable?

Did you look at the function csched_tick() and try to figure out what it does?
