Dump is much faster than restore [message #23567]

I played around online migration and noticed that

vzctl restore $name --undump --dumpfile img_file takes about 2.5 s (on another host) , whereas

chkpnt $name --dump --dumpfile img_file - only 0.2s .

Is it normal behaviour ? (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.028stab047.1PAE)

IMHO both times are very nice Smile

It may be due follwing reasons:
- chkpnt kills processes, and it is obviously faster than new process creation;
- vzctl restore starts some network configuration on Hardware Node (adds routes for VE IP, send ARP) before undumping.

thank you,
