How stable is RH offering? That is more important than performance. There are plenty of other metrics that are more important. How does Qumranet compare and why aren't you asking those much more important and relevant questions?
People who mindless value performance are those one that cheer if an operation is refactored so it runs 15 seconds faster, even though it is only called once a day at best, meanwhile a part of the program that could be reduced by 200 ms isn't considered even though it is called at least once a minute.
Why do so many people misunderstand performance and how it relates to real world use?

- I didn't see where anyone talked about speed? Just performance (I believe relating to the number of VM's that could run simultaneously on one box in this context).

(3 Comments)I for one like the idea of running 52 VM's on a single host instead of only 30 or 35. Seems like a big benefit to me.
Not knowing much about Qumranet , I'm more curious about the management tools and things like:
- Hot migration of VM's
- Clones and snapshots of VM's
- Resource throttling
- Hot backups of VM's
If (and the author stated "if") these claims are true, and Redhat's Qumranet can compete on the above list of items....I would start to think about replacing our VI3 infrastructure.
Just my two cents.
