+    <p>
+      Some platforms allow monitoring of performance of the virtual machine and
+      the code executed inside. To enable the performance monitoring events
+      you can either specify them in the <code>perf</code> element or enable
+      them via <code>virDomainSetPerfEvents</code> API. The performance values
+      are then retrieved using the virConnectGetAllDomainStats API.
