Out of curiosity: I noticed your VM is called WS2008r2. Do you still see this high cpu utilisation with WS2012r2?

At the very least please show the command line arguments used to boot the windows guests, and the arguments used with the Linux guests. The choice of hardware config can have a significant impact on performance of different guests Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
