Hi,

I notice that domain 0 gives bad performance with disk I/O. Domain 0
was given about 55MB RAM. With the same configuration, Linux on raw
hardware gives far better performance. While a raw Linux OS gives a
disk read throughput of around 20MB/sec (without any caching effects),
dom0 (using the Xen.2.0.4 kernel with linux kernel 2.6.10) gives only
about 2-3MB/sec throughput.

Any pointers to the reasons for this difference will be greatly helpful. 

Thanks,
pradheep.
