Thanks for your comments Jeff.

What kinds of performance/profiling data would you like to see
instead? Atleast as far as the scheduler is concerned, I think its
hard to do any better -- XenMon already reports things such as per
domain blocking time, waiting time, number of memory page exchanges,
number of times a VM is scheduled. It'll be very useful if you can
give some concrete examples of the kinds of metrics you would want in
such a tool.

Thanks,
Diwaker
