A small degradation might be acceptable. 2X cpu consumption is not.
IMO "using host memory" is the problem, because it involves copies and
hypercalls. Try giving the memory to the guest, either through the
balloon or through a pci device that exposes memory that can be
withdrawn. That will make everything *much* faster.

I meant the overall overhead, as seen by users.
