> What about a better howto about qemu-fast (how to set up, etc.)
I will update the documentation for the next release. My idea is to
split it between user documentation and technical documentation.
I will also make a fix for the compilation of qemu-fast for the LDT problem.
The current state of qemu-fast in CVS is that it can only launch patched
OSes, but at near native speeds (no precise benchmarks yet).
The specific "roadmap" for qemu-fast is:
- native floating point support (qemu-fast still uses full emulation for
floating point, which is slow).
- faster self modifying code support (qemu-fast is slower than qemu on
16 bit code which heavily uses self modifying code).
- faster memory mapped device access (qemu-fast is slower than qemu for
VGA emulation).
- huge memory support (qemu-fast can simulate up to 256 MB of RAM, but
this limit will be increased to 4 GB, and then 64 GB).
Fabrice.
