Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, to complete your appreciated impression:
Do you perhaps have the corresponding figures regarding e.g. VMware ESX(i)

Yes.

HDD: XEN | KVM | ESXi

Write: 110 MB/s | 60 MB/s | 35 MB/s
Read: 130 MB/s | 80 MB/s | 160 MB/s

Network Performance: (download an 4 GB iso image from apache webserver)

XEN | KVM | ESXi

download Speed: 105 MB/s | 50 MB/s | 43 MB/s

Overall, xen is the most powerful virtualization platform on our IBM
servers.


Best regards,

Morten
