Thanks. I'm already using CPU pinning as I said. The disk options are both set to "hypervisor default" so I'll try changing them. I'd configured the guest disk as 'raw' assuming that would be faster than QCOW2 but I'll look into it. poc _______________________________________________ vfio-users mailing list vfio-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users
