Hi All,

Scientific Linux 6.2, 64 bit

Whenever I have been running my XP Virtual Machine
under KVM, my dump backup goes from 1 hr, 12 min
to 5 hr, 30 min.   Five times slower.  Reboot fixes the problem.

This does not happen if I have (only) been running my
Windows 7 Virtual Machine.

Anyone have a workaround or fix for this?

Many thanks,
