Hello dear friend,
I'm testing with iperf in windows and linux. I've used virtio net and block in a previous proxmox 1.9 system without stability problem and now I'm trying to do the same on a proxmox 2.0 rc. So far no stability issue just testing performance. Here what I've tested so far:

Also attach disk performance of KVM guest SBS 2011 on a Megaraid RAID5 LVM.
I would like to know if these results re decent/expected or I can tune it. Thanks a lot.
