I've got an E5420 system, 8 gigs of ram 2x72gig (10k rpm if i recall) RAID1 (hp Dl360) and i was wondering if anyone has attempted to install 7.2 or 8.0-amd64 installation iso. the installation rate is terrible, it crawls at about <5kb/s if i recall. below is how i start the virtual machine qemu-system-x86_64 drive.raw -vga std -net nic,model=e1000,macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55 -monitor stdio -vnc :2 -smp 4 -m 4096 -net tap -localtime -cdrom 8.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso any suggestions on what to do ? the reason why i say this is cause as i use the system, i see some minor issues of latency at random times, whether it's gcc or in the middle of configure for something so tiny, unfortunately i dont know how to else to test the latency, i've also tried -smp 1.
