Hi Michael,

Thank you for your consideration.  I had a feeling.

I asked Red Hat if they would have a whack at it.
They are suppose to support EL6 till 2020, but they
really don't. So maybe.

I am trying to upgrade to EL7, but the lack of Wine32
support is a deal killer.

Just out of curiosity, does the USB support work any better
in the new version of qemu?  Is it "on the fly" or do you
still have to map each drive in?

Many thanks,
-T

Title:
  USB2 is five times slower than native on qemu-kvm

Status in QEMU:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Dear Qemu,

  Spice told me to report this over here.

  Scientific Linux 6.6

  $ uname -r
  2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64

  $ cat /etc/redhat-release
  Scientific Linux release 6.6 (Carbon)

  $ rpm -qa qemu\*
  qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.3.x86_64
  qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.3.x86_64

  
  I have a bootable USB2 FC21 flash drive.  I can boot my machine directly from 
it or run it as a virtual machine through KVM.

  Problem: it is about 5 times slower through KVM.  (Really, I am not
  exaggerating)

  Many thanks,
  -T
