I don't see why venti has gotten so memory hungry, this seems new
behavior. I realize I can twist the knobs myself but geez, this is a 4
GB disk -- why does it think it needs nearly 400 MB RSS to deal with
it?

I should mention that another person here tried qemu recently and
commented that it was dog slow as well.
Something changed in qemu I think and it's affecting plan 9. That was
a very old qemu image and it was peppy in the old days.
I wonder if it's a 0.11 thing or maybe a Linux thing. I've
I'm now running an upgraded qemu:

And have noticed that an old image I use for qemu is going astray.
Same kernel as it has been for quite some time, but the load is pegged
at about 2500 at all times.
I'm
I was wrong. I built a new kernel from sources and performance is
still very bad, with a load of 2500 minimum.
Also, venti, on this little machine, is a bit hungry for memory.

This image formerly ran in 256M, now requires 512M, because venti

swap? this would answer two questions.

You could configure venti to be less aggressive with its use of memory, but
that would likely hurt performance.
Running venti inside qemu is silly. If you really want venti for your vm,
run venti on the host and
I tend to disagree. If I'm running qemu it is because I want to
simulate a whole-machine environment. If I don't need that simulation,
I'll go back to 9vx.
seems that keeping up with qemu is at least as hard
as keeping up with real hardware.

Yeah, but Plan 9's a cluster environment, nothing wrong with the venti server
being elsewhere (in fact, thats kind of expected) -- unless of course you are
debugging the venti server.
