Hi all,
very very interesting.
I have a similar problem but the other way round.
If my XP runs up tp 100% CPU usage "top" on the linux host reports "only"
33% cpu usage. I would expect around 50% because I only provide one core
for the guest. I already increased the process priority of qemu and the io
priority, nothing helped. The rest of the CPU is nearly idle, no excessive
disk access this time :-)
Any Idea what this could be?
Best regards,
Erik

I just installed XP into a new VM, specifying -smp 2 for the machine.
According to top, it's using nearly 200% of a cpu even when I'm not
doing anything.
Is this real CPU useage, or just a reporting problem (just as my disk
image is big according to ls, but isn't really)?
If it's real, is there anything I can do about it?
kvm 0.7.2 on Debian Lenny (but 2.6.29 kernel), amd64. Xeon chips; 32
bit version of XP pro installed, now fully patched (including the
Windows Genuine Advantage stuff, though I cancelled it when it wanted to
run).
Task manager in XP shows virtually no CPU useage.
Please cc me on responses.
Thanks for any assistance.
