If that's the case maybe > we should default to q35 in virtme-ng when KVM isn't available (even if > on my box q35 is actually slower than the default pc, so in that case we > may need to come up with some logic to pick the right machine type). it might be interesting to find out why q35 is slower (it shouldn't be) With above config one can put all devices on hostbridge as integrated endpoints which roughly will be the same as PCI topo in 'pc' machine) another thing that might help is adding '-cpu max' instead of default qemu64 cpu model. > Thanks, > -Andrea >
