Citrix Xen vs VMWare ESXi

[tmcallaghan-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org (Tim Callaghan)]

I did some recent benchmarking using Citrix Xen and VMWare ESXi on a 2
socket quad core (Xeon 5500) server.  I had better performance of my
application on the Xen box.  Note, my application is CPU/Memory only
plus networking, no disk I/O.

It was also nice that Xen allows access to all 8 physical CPUs for
free, if you want to present more than 4 CPUs to your VM in ESXi you
have to pay.
