I'm finding KVM VMs desktop painfully jerky. It's bad enough at
800x600, but at 1600 x 1100 (or whatever the res is) as all but
unusable. When I ran vmware the performance was quite good.
Are there any obvious gotchas, is there a better pick than KVM or should
I just go back to vmware server? BTW, blackbox was pretty decent, too,
but it used Zen and I've not seen Zen kernels distributed.
