OT: virtio obviously works well with Linux guests, but runs amazingly well
with Windows guests as well if needed. That particular Windows 10 load is
faster virtualized than the factory load on original hardware. Now, keep
in mind that's not exactly a 1:1 comparison, it's a convertible (no vendor
bloatware installed, no tablet drivers, enterprise vs pro), but I was
pretty impressed none the less. I get to both desktops in around 8-10
seconds from power on (the variable is me typing at the GDM login). I did
have to disable the startup health check in the guest Windows 10 VM as it
results in a SMART error for the virtio HDD! My poor helpdesk folks didn't
like the repeated bogus support tickets. :-)
The first time I built LFS in qemu I thought I did something wrong. From
'power on' to login prompt was about 2 seconds.
I have found that building LFS in qemu takes about 150% of the time on HW.
I don't know if I set things up properly or not. What I use is usually
some variation of:
qemu -enable-kvm -boot c \
-drive file=/mnt/qemu/deb71.img \
-drive file=/mnt/qemu/lfs.img \
-m 2G \
-cpu host \
-smp 2 \
-vga std \
-net nic -net bridge \
-machine type=pc,accel=kvm
But I haven't done this recently.
