I haven't tuned the threshhold, it is left it at 3/4. I ran
the new qemu/vhost/guest, and the results for 1K, 2K and 16K
are below. Note this is a different kernel version from my
earlier test results. So, f.e., BW1 represents 2.6.39-rc2,
the original kernel; while BW2 represents 2.6.37-rc5 (MST's
kernel). This also isn't with the fixes you have sent just
now. I will get a run with that either late tonight or
tomorrow.
