-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Emulated environments are slower.
The reason; Almost any significant work done inside the emulator has to be translated into the host OS's API and then run by the host OS before it can be completed, thus adding extra steps into the execution process. This includes everything from thread creation and memory allocation through to Disk and Network IO. If you add into that the fact that instead of processing the needs of one OS a machine running an emulated system is processing the needs of two (the host and the emulated OS), there is no way that emulation will increase performance over dedicated machine of the same specification.I've done a lot of work with virtualisation and emulation and I have yet to see an emulated system run faster on the same hardware than it would do if running natively and that includes experience of VMWare, Bochs, Wine, Xen, and Parallels. The ONLY advantage I've seen to virtualization is a reduction in the need for hardware to service a dynamic need such as QA testing where you don't want 10 machines each with their own environment when 9 won't be used most of the time, having 1 machine with 10 emulated machines where you can swap saves real cash. It doesn't matter if the emulated machine needs to "load all the sub protocols and such", the host OS most will have had to already load them in order to offer support. > -----Original Message-----> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason> Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 5:01 PM> To: [email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlds] Voice causes high ping> > > Negative.
