Re: [Qemu-devel] objective benchmark?

[Christian MICHON]

how can we do the same if the host is winXP ?

Today, on linux guests, 2.4.x kernel boot faster than 2.6.x kernel
inside qemu (unless using "clock=pit" on 2.6.x). 2 days ago,
when I tried to setup Solaris x86 10 guest inside winXP host, I
gave up since the timing engine inside the guest seems slow.

I would really like to know how to solve this on XP hosts.
Thanks,
