Re: [kvm-devel] [ANNOUNCE] kvm-51 release

[Haydn S. <hay...@gm...>]

First , thank you for new release of kvm. I have a few problems to 
report with kvm-51.

1. When running an exisiting winxp ACPI multiprocessor HAL with -smp 2, 
sometimes it will hang on boot.
2. This may not be a major problem but cpu usage is a litte higher when 
idle on release 51 than 50. It was very low on 50, the lowest I've seen 
in a long time.
3. For me personally, the best performing release to date is release 50.

Regards

Haydn
