The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.
If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU, then please close this ticket as "Fix released". If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still valid, then you have two options: 1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket for this problem in our new tracker here: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto- matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab. 2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other- wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes anymore). Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. ** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914667 Title: High cpu usage when guest is idle on qemu-system-i386 Status in QEMU: Incomplete Bug description: When running Windows XP in qemu-system-i386, the cpu usage of QEMU is about 100% even when the guest CPU usage is close to 2%. The host cpu usage should be low when the guest cpu usage is low. Command: qemu-system-i386 -hda <Windows XP HD image> Using this command also shows around 100% host CPU usage: qemu-system-i386 -m 700 -hda <Windows XP HD image> -usb -device usb-audio -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -hdb mountable.img -soundhw pcspk Using the Penryn CPU option also saw this problem: qemu-system-i386 -hda <Windows XP HD image> -m 700 -cpu Penryn-v1 Using "-cpu pentium2" saw the same high host cpu usage. My Info: M1 MacBook Air Mac OS 11.1 qemu-system-i386 version 5.2 (1ba089f2255bfdb071be3ce6ac6c3069e8012179) Windows XP SP3 Build 2600 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1914667/+subscriptions
