There is also an ongoing discussion about Xen vs. KVM performance on the CentOS virt list

There are some interesting ideas and insightful comments there. I am tempted to abort my own benchmarking, as it seems others are doing the same. I think I will proceed though, until and unless someone there releases numbers first.
As I mentioned before, I've hit a snag with my in-progress benchmarks. I've filed a bug but I doubt I will wait for resolution. I'll need a bit more time now to setup a RHEL 6 based platform (host and guests). I'm still hoping to get most done this weekend, but I make no promises. If not, I'll aim for the weekend after to finish.

I wanted to post a follow-up, as I had hoped to have results well before now.
I've been working on getting Xen 4.0, dom0 2.6.32 and DRBD 8 running on RHEL 6 as part of the cluster testing I want to do. I've *just* finished getting these RPMs rolled, thanks to the great work of Pasi and Boris.
I am now fairly pressed for time with the holidays coming, so I do not expect to have a chance to revisit the benchmarking until the new year. I won't bother giving a date, instead opting for "when it's done, I'll post it" statement.
Sorry for the delays. With luck, anyone interested should be able to duplicate the setup with a simple repo addition, if all goes well. :)
