Hello, I'd like to discuss an issue I'm having with KVM on a Windows XP guest. The hosting system is a `x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel' machine runing the latest (stable) kernel release and KVM version 83. The respecitve modules (kvm, kvm_intel) are loaded and in use. The problem in question is perfromance. While the system boots as fast as in native mode (for that matter, the instalation was fast too), it doesn't work OK for general tasks. The system lags very much. The mouse pointer, for example works only for a few moments and then freezes. So does the keyboard. Everything stops periodically for about 5-15 seconds after which it works normally for 10-30 seconds. At moments, the mouse pointer freezes at some location, but I can still move a "copy" of the mouse pointer. I've tried to tweak various settings (from CPU to memory) with no success. The IRC guys on #KVM then sugested to post the issue here. I belive that it's hard to understand what's going on from my poor description so if you have any other questions what should I try/check, please tell! Best regards, Jernej. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
