[Bug 578930] Re: qemu-kvm: ksmd should have a less CPU-hogging default config
I'm disappointed in Ubuntu's decision not to fix this.. I find the alternative sleep time of 200ms to be far more sensible, rather than having ksmd burn thru CPU cycles constantly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578930 Title: qemu-kvm: ksmd should have a less CPU-hogging default config -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 578930] Re: qemu-kvm: ksmd should have a less CPU-hogging default config
I'm getting burned by this too, and I disagree with Mr. Kirkland's assertion that Ubuntu should just use the upstream default. There are many, many Ubuntu packages which alter the upstream default to make Ubuntu a more user-friendly experience. One could even argue that Ubuntu's best feature is that it changes the upstream defaults of the world to be something that actually works for human beings. Please, set this to a reasonable value (200ms?). As has been pointed out, the upsteam default is not even considered a reasonable value by the upstream maintainers. Ethically speaking, this bug is causing more CPU power consumption (and thus, global warming) for absolutely no reason whatsoever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578930 Title: qemu-kvm: ksmd should have a less CPU-hogging default config -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
