Re: qemu process consumes 100% host CPU after reverting snapshot

BTW, if I download qemu8.0(https://download.qemu.org/qemu-8.0.0.tar.xz), 
compile and install it in my ubuntu22.04, launch vm with the same 
command(just update --machine to be "pc"), the host cpu usage is not 
high, it seems to be a bug in QEMU6

Also, I have another question, for disk iotune or throttle group, after 
reverting snapshot, if I login vm, and run fio, I/O performance drops a 
lot in both QEMU6 and QEMU8, do anyone know the reason? Any explanation 
would be appreciated!
