Subject: [Qemu-devel] vga slow with -enable-kvm
Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 10:18:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <491407E9.4040506@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
The vga display is very slow when using latest svn with kvm enabled.
Just try to boot any linux kernel with vesafb enabled (vga=0x314 for
800x600@16), enjoy watching the boot messages scroll. Booting without
kvm enabled is *faster*.
Feels like every single screen access is trapped or something like that.
kvm_stat confirms that, there are tons of mmio exits:
