+(guest) # dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null
+
+note: cancelling dd process by Ctrl+c, it will return the read speed.
+
+Problem:   the speed is around 1k/s
+
+===================
+
+If I use rng-random backend (filename=/dev/random), the speed is about 350k/s).
+
+It seems that when the request entry is added to the list, we don't read the data from queue list immediately.
+The chr_read() is delayed, the virtio_notify() is delayed.  the next request will also be delayed. It effects the speed.
+
+I tried to change rng_egd_chr_can_read() always returns 1,  the speed is improved to (about 400k/s)
+
+Problem: we can't poll the content in time currently
+
+
+Any thoughts?
+
+Thanks, Amos
