Hello,

after upgrading my ancient ivy-bridge (Xeon E3, no vAPIC CPU support) from 11.1 to stable/12 I noteced a quiet heavy slowdown of my windows guest (Server 2012R2).

The guest-disk is a ZVOL backed virtio-blk device, which I suspected suffers from performance regressions – especially since I use them in volmode=dev. But then I found the guest spending almost one full vCPU cycles in interrupt handling during light SQL load; something I rarely see on windows.  No idea what caused the slowdown, but I remembered r358848 – which isn't MFCd yet, but I gave it a try. Word's can't describe the surprise.  Never imagined any Win-Guest on bhyve can feel like that…
Thanks a lot to Sir Burmeister et. al.

Hope this will land in stable/12 soon.

Thanks,

-Harry
