Hey there guys, Dunno if this is the correct list to post this doubt, but I don't think it fits in a user list... so here it goes: does virtual box support/use shared pages to reduce memory usage?
I ask this because I've two Windows VMs that are being run from the same base immutable image. Both VMs have 128Mb of memory and I see that both of them are, currently using 182MB of memory being idle(got from teh resident memory info on htop). Not only I see a (in my opion) a big overhead in memory usage, but the memory is not being reused, when I'm pretty sure 90% of the machines memmory are common. This happens because ballooning is not yet implemented or shared pages are working in a way that I can't understand? I'm running VBox 2.2 PUEL under Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64.
