After endless troubles I'm finally approaching to use spice on xen in
production in place of vnc+rdp.
I have noticed an high dom0 cpu usage by guest's qemu process when spice
is used (in particular using video streaming).
This is my test system:
Dom0:
Dell Poweredge T310 with cpu xeon X3450 and 12 gb of ram
Debian 7 (Wheezy) 64 bit with kernel from package
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 version 3.2.54-2 and all dependency packages
for xen, spice and usb redirection.
Seabios 1.7.4-4, spice 0.12.4-0nocelt2 and usbredir 0.6-2 compiled from
debian unstable sources.
Latest xen-unstable with some patches
(https://github.com/Fantu/Xen/commits/hvm-improve.t10) with qemu 2.0.0-rc2.
jpeg-turbo from x2go repository to make spice-server using it and
decrease cpu usage.
DomU:
windows 7 pro 64 bit with latest gplpv and spice guest tools 0.74
stdvga with 32 mb videoram (qxl for now not working on xen, my latest
test report of some months ago was without replies)
resolution 1280x768x16bit
Spice client:
good notebook with core i5 cpu with Fedora 20 updated
On start of my tests the dom0 cpu usage was avarage to 60-100% even with
only one active guest using spice.
Disabling the spice images compression the dom0 cpu usage was up to 30%
but with drawback of an increased network traffic, specially during
video streaming.
Can someone advice me to further keep cpu down and/or other optimizations?
Thanks for any reply.
