Hi, Here is my opinion on your message.
> It seems that OpenVZ is faster than UML since the former is a OS-level > virtualization. It also can run more instances of the VM. What were you using the instances for? Were they just created to test the number you could make, if so, are you sure that OpenVZ uses less memory when executing tasks? Did you only test this on your machine? > My question is: > 1) if I run Linux in UML on Linux, will the speed be comparable to openVZ? In what way? Everything has its purposes. > 2) Is there a ballpark figure of how many instance of UML I can run on > a Intel 1G processor with 256MB ram? I'm not sure. It really depends what you're doing with it. UML has its pluses compared to openVZ, like, if you timed how long it took to setup your first UML VPS, then your first openVZ VPS, UML will win hands down.
