Hi,

I am considering a bit of virtualization and started playing with XEN.
I have three questions:
I use a 64bit system with probably mostly 64bit guests. Am I right
that I do not need the -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs CFLAG and can clone
real machines? My test system didn't show any performance hangs.

Are paravirtualized guests faster in performance then fully virtualized
ones? I guess the addition of a whole 'PC Emulation' might have a negative
impact.

What is the fastest driver for the guest disks apart from direct physical
partitions on the dom0? I saw that xen loads a few drivers.

Konstantin
