dd performance
For shits and giggles: some crude IO performance tests based on dd'ing a 512M file of random content, results in MB/s:

mail server 17
KVM virtual 17

Linux Workstation 45
Mac Mini SSD 46

Notes about using point-to-point links for routing IP addresses in virtual machines
Some experiments, which worked but were eventually not used.
See http://www.greenhills.co.uk/2011/06/10/lxc.html
Now, the next big milestone is to get networking working.
In the config, we told lxc-create to use br0 as the link,
and inside the container we have eth0:
root@thunder:/# brctl show br0
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.962e6bb72480 no vethP70LNx
