Whilst doing some portability testing with reportlab I noticed a strange
speedup for our unittest suite with python2.5
host win32 xp3 unittest time=42.2 seconds
vmware RHEL x64 unittest time=30.9 seconds
so it looks like the vmware emulated system is much faster. Is it the
x64 working faster at its design sizes or perhaps the compiler or could
it be the vmware system caching all writes etc etc? For the red hat x64
build the only special configuration was to use ucs2
I know that the VT bit stuff has made virtualization much better, but
this seems a bit weird.
AFAIK some VMs have difficulties with timers. For example, my
virtualized KDE has that jumping icon when starting a program - and
that's *much* faster jumping inside VBox :)
So - are you sure it *is* faster?
