[coLinux-users] Colinux Ubuntu Guest Extremely slow

[Paul W. <pa...@wa...>]

Hi all,

I am running the latest colinux (0.7.1), and it seems to be running 
quite slow.  The KDE UI is somewhat jerky because of the slowness, but 
my main concern is raw processing power.  I am hoping to be able to do 
Java software development at work without having to interact with 
Windows.  I'm willing to deal with the fact that coLinux is only using 
one of the two CPUs, but I can't justify using it on a daily basis if it 
takes significantly longer to do my job.

Here are the platform details:

Host
*******
Windows XP
coLinux 0.7.1
Pentuim D, ~3 GHz
3GB RAM

Guest
*********
Kubuntu Gutsy i386

I booted my Kubuntu Live CD and found that it reported the bogoMIPS at 
5990.33.  coLinux reports the bogoMIPS at 1520.43.  That means the 
coLinux guest is running at ~25% of native speed.  I know that bogoMIPS 
are not an true speed representation, but I think it is close enough to 
give a general idea of what is going on.

Any help on getting colinux up to speed would be greatly appreciated!

Paul
