Package: syslinux-common
Version: 2:3.71+dfsg-5
I noticed this issue when booting qemu using PXE, from a server
passing out pxelinux and vesamenu boot images. The qemu process of
the client would use 100% CPU on the host machine while displaying the
menu, even if no key events were processed. The qemu instance running
the PXE server on the other hand only spend 3-8 % CPU on the host
machine.
It would be great if the pxelinux/vesamenu code was changed to use
less CPU resource for displaying the menu. The use case I have in
mind is a classroom of computers being started using PXE and waiting
in the menu for users to select which system too start. It would
waste quite a lot of power which would be better spent elsewhere.
Perhaps the even loop in the menu can be rewritten to use some idle
opcodes to save some watts?
Happy hacking,
