I meant, how many qemu threads are there, and how much cpu does each take?


There is only one qemu thread for the 4-cpu guest.

Not possible.  Even a single-cpu guest has two threads.

"ps auxH" shuld show me all threads? I started it multiple times, and it shown 1 thread for the 4-CPU guest
(with no CPU intensive tasks running - could this be a reason?).


What does 'ls /proc/$(pgrep qemu)/task' show?

Running several CPU-intensive processes on this guest uses only one CPU on the host.

Both "ps auxH" and /proc confirm that this guest has 4-5 threads when I run several CPU-intensive apps.

Only one thread for this guest uses 100% CPU time; other threads use ~0%.

If I don't run any CPU-intensive tasks on this guests, it only runs one thread (unless I misinterpret something here).


Some 1-CPU guests have only one thread though?
