35 minutes cpu run on 7 minutes real time, so scaling 1:7. User time almost the same, system time different but not enough to account for the large difference in run time.

I'm due to get my own Nehalem next week, I'll try to reproduce your results here.


I reproduced this on a 2x4 barcelona, I get 6.6x scaling on the guest compared to your 7.2x on the host. This is with a kvm.git host kernel. Once thing that changed is an improvement in cfq with multiple threads; try setting the host io scheduler for /dev/sdb to deadline (together with dropping -usbdevice tablet).
