           Summary: KVM is being extremely slow on AMD Athlon64 4000+ Dual
                    Core 2.1GHz Brisbane

Hello.

Kvm seems to be broken on AMD Athlon64 4000+ Dual Core 2.1GHz Brisbane. A
kernel build takes over
2 hours, compared to 15 minutes on the host. I'm running with virtio
for storage, and this does not seem to be related to IO. A simple test
with dd also demonstrates that the problem is cpu-ralated:

Host test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1k count=8M
8388608+0 записей считано (read)
8388608+0 записей написано (write)
 скопировано (copyed) 8589934592 байта (8,6 GB), 7,04456 c, 1,2 GB/c

This also does not seem to be a cpu bug, as both VirtualBox and VMware
work fine.

Vmware/Virtualbox test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1k count=8M
8388608+0 записей считано (read)
8388608+0 записей написано (write)
 скопировано (copyed) 8589934592 байта (8,6 GB), 5,02745 c, 1,7 GB/c

I've tried different kernels on host, between 2.6.22 and current git,
with the same results. The guest is running Gentoo Hardened kernel 3.2.2
, but I could try with a an other distro and a vanilla kernel
if required.

My kvm version is kvm 1.0

Help would be much appreciated.
