Our assumption from reading the FBSD 10 docs is that now being a Xen guest is natively supported and we don't need to compile a custom kernel to make it work. However, we are seeing dismal performance on disk and network access. Its just generally very slow. We have installed the xe-guest-tools port and enabled it. The VM with FBSD has the highest processor priority and have 8 gigs of Ram. FreeBSD is installed with ZFS enabled. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. This is a high priority project for us and we need to resolve this rather quickly. Looking forward to your response. Regards, Anjan Upadhya.
