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 :)

I started both in terminals and the host never wins :)
