Hi Raghu,

sorry for my slow response. I'm on vacation right now (until the
9th of July) and I have limited access to mail. Also, thanks for
continuing the benchmarking. Question, when you compare PLE vs.
non-PLE, are you using different machines (one with and one
without), or are you disabling its use by loading the kvm module
with the ple_gap=0 modparam as I did?
