poor performance between two dom-u's on a single dom-0

We are running bandwidth tests between two dom-u's on a single dom-0
using iperf and getting poor performance.
This is using teh xen paravirtualized driver. Performance is around 10-100Mbps.
Any suggestions as to why the performance may be so bad or
recommendations of what to check?

Thanks.

PV guest or HVM guest with PV drivers? What OS/distro on dom0 and
domU? Which xen and kernel version?

Short answer: assuming you use newer pv_ops kernel, then its a known
issue. If you don't use pv_ops kernel, then you need to provide more
details about your setup.
