Re: OpenBSD and disk slowliness

[Mark Kettenis]

The way OpenBSD/i386 uses the xAPIC interrupt controller gives KVM
(and other virtualization software) a hard time.  OpenBSD/amd64 does
things in a KVM-friendlier way, and we're trying to make it even
friendlier.  Fixing the interrupt handling on OpenBSD/i386 isn't very
high on my priority list.  I really recommend that people use
OpenBSD/amd64 .  You'll get much better address space randomization
and NX bit support that way.
