Subject: USB passthrough burning 5% of CPU?
Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:28:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <446278be57f7b83e771e9306f7172d96@mail.shatteredsilicon.net> (raw)

 Ever since I switched from passing a PCI USB controller
 through to a domU in favour of passing USB devices using
 the "usbdevice" config parameter, the domU affected
 seems to have qemu-dm "idling" at about 5% CPU usage in
 dom0. With the PCI USB controller passed through, this
 does not happen.

 Is this normal/expected? Does a similar continuous CPU
 overhead invisibly apply to PCI passthrough devices as
 well? Or is this CPU tax only applicable to USB
 passthrough?
