It depends on your hardware how much CPU load you will see when the guest is idle. On modern Intel Core processors we usually see less than 1% CPU load if the guest is idle. However, there might be additional potential for optimizations of the idle state, but there is nothing to configure. Kind regards, Frank -- ## InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH, http://www.innotek.de ##
