OK, I might try F15 then I am not so worried about disk performance, I am most
interested in the memory sharing/oversubsciption technology that I thought
was now in 4.x.y. Does anyone know if that is the case, I think it was code
from Oracle?
Do you mean 'tmem' ? It's still disabled as a default in xen 4.1.0,
but can be turned on with a hypervisor boot time option in grub.conf.

Also, do you anticipate then updating these packages throughout the
life of
F15 (even if they are just in testing or some other repo)?
Thanks again to everyone who has worked/is working to squeeze this in.
Indeed, very much thanks to everyone involved!
