Hi, perhaps this is the wrong list. If so then please accept my apology.
I am trying out the opensuse kvm rpm from the Virtualization repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_11.3/x86_64/kvm-0.14.0.rc1-67.1.x86_64.rpm I have installed winxp and run the machine as "/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -name xp.home -m 768 ...". On the machine I have compiled perl from the sources. After a fresh start, when I try to run the perl test suite the process size grows to ~2500 Mb with an RSS of 2.2 Gb. On a second run of the test suite the process size and RSS continue to grow. I'd expect the memory consumption to be limited somewhere between 768 Mb and 1 Gb.
