I currently use ARM-KVM with gem5,
so reaching the point for checkpointing takes just a couple of minutes and
is not a problem.

Just writing a checkpoint takes 10 mins even on locally-mounted SSDs.
Before digging into the issue, I just wanted to know if this is normal.
Maybe I have to check my system configuration again.
Thank you for your advice.

Thanks,
Hanhwi
