Currently, I'm just checking the performance visually.
   - on laptops, we can feel the speed directly: my favorite is installing
     ubuntu or debian by alternate installers

   - live migration with heavy work load

Now that I've got the overall design, I want to measure the performance by numbers.


About performance under Kemari: we(oss.ntt.co.jp staffs: me and Fernando) are
now concentrating on improving the basic live-migration infrastructures and
they(lab.ntt.co.jp staffs) are working hard for building Kemari itself.

   - We are also interested in using live-migration with HA software and this needs
     light, stable live-migration: same as Kemari!


So measuring Kemari's performance with our patch-set will need some more time,
** How about Tamura-san? **


So at this stage, I'll show you performance improvement(I hope to improve) by
another test cases.

If possible next week!

Thanks,
