** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
+ 
+ Version: Natty
+ Kernel Version: 2.6.38-2-generic x86_64
+ KVM Version: QEMU emulator version 0.13.0 (qemu-kvm-devel)
+ LibVirt Version: libvirtd (libvirt) 0.8.5
  
  I created a VM using virt-manager. During the installation, the process
  kvm has a CPU usage goes of 100%.
  
  Being aware of the virt-manager [1], bug #707313, (using 100% CPU), I
  used top to determine weather this was virt-manager of kvm itself. After
  doing so, I noticed that both, kvm and python processes where more than
  80% of usage. So I decided to go ahead and close virt-manager and the
  VNC window for the current VM. Then, I returned to a terminal to see
  top's output, and it showed now that the kvm process was the only one
  with 100% CPU usage.
  
  Note that the CPU usage is only at 100% when doing IO, apparently.
  
  A video showing this behavior can be found at [2].
