[Qemu-devel] FC2 guest is working slower than RH9 on FC2 host

[Mulyadi Santosa <a_mulyadi@softhome.net>]

Hello everybody

Yesterday I tried to install Fedora Core 2 guest using qemu 0.7.1 (no 
kqemu) on top of FC 2 host. Both guest and host are running 2.6.5-1.358 
(the default kernel of FC2). I experienced slower boot speed and slower 
keyboard typing (the delay between a key a pressed and the actual 
character is showed). Couple weeks ago I installed RH9 as guest also on 
top of FC2 host but the speed is better.

Is it because the guest kernel (FC2) using HZ=1000 so qemu has problem 
on syncing the clock? or are there any technical explanations on why it 
happens?

My PC spec:
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
RAM 256  MB DDR
Hard disk 80 GB EIDE
GeForce 2 MX 440 (X display is using nvidia driver)

regards
