Yes it was 32bit nonpae guest on 32bit nonpae host. Severals things : - I never reproduiced the problem - The problem happened under heavy load, and I was experiencing slowdown on this laptop after a few hours of work. For example my system was reporting 4500fps on glxgears after fresh boot, and 500fps after a day of work. After some investigations, I found on the dell website that my laptop had fans activation problems with my bios version. After bios upgrade, my system does slows after heavy load. So as my system was heating to much because of this bios problem, I think you can forget my report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
