Hi Rainer,

isn't Amazon AWS xen-based?
I know Colin Percival (cperciva@) is running=20
tarsnap=2Ecom on AWS, maybe he knows how=20
to tune it properly?
Looks like he's the one providing FreeBSD=20
images for AWS, too: https://aws=2Eamazon=2Ecom/marketplace/pp/B01LWSWRED/
Amazon is probably running a heavily patched
version of Xen but looking at the images'=20
sysctls & stuff and running one on your Xen-
Server might provide some insights - or at
least datapoints=2E

And then there's DTrace to dive into the=20
kernel's inner workings*=E2=80=A6

Oh, does Xen still provide emulation for other
storage controllers like SATA or SAS? If so
you may get an at least bearable performance
using those=2E

Regards, Florian
