Re: Fwd: System partitioning question

It doesn't matter - any VM can run on any CPU core and none require a 
dedicated CPU core. If your application is such that you are concerned 
about latency, the chances are that no virtualization solution is going 
to be good enough. Otherwise don't worry about it.
