Re: XP smp using a lot of CPU

2009-05-13 Thread Erik Rull
Hi all, very very interesting. I have a similar problem but the other way round. If my XP runs up tp 100% CPU usage "top" on the linux host reports "only" 33% cpu usage. I would expect around 50% because I only provide one core for the guest. I already increased the process priority of qemu an

Hi all, I'm running kvm-77 and windows xp as guest. When I start the defragmentation of the virtualized drive within the windows guest (well this is not a fine way, but it should work :-)), the real time clock starts hanging - I recognized that because some underlying hardware with own timers

usb-linux.c - delay between USB URBs

2009-03-18 Thread Erik Rull
Hello, my problem is still the same - the USB key has only a transfer rate of ~ 2 MB / min through the virtualization. So I did some debugging in usb-linux.c - first I switched on debugging. The debug output was way to much so I added a timestamp calculation between a) start and end of async

USB Transfer Rate with kvm-77

2009-03-16 Thread Erik Rull
Hello, I'm currently testing Windows XP in a Linux host. I works well except the USB transfer rate. Printers and USB Pen Drives can be connected and get detected (I added host:auto...). My System only supports USB 1.1, the transfer rate in plain linux is okay. In the Guest Windows, the transfe
