While staring at top on my kvm server waiting for it to crash, I noticed that my idle Fedora kvm guests appear to be consuming between 8-12% cpu while my idle SL6 guests appear to be consuming between 0.3-2% cpu as shown in the qemu-kvm processes in top. Does anyone have any insight as to why this would be the case? -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane [log in to unmask] Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com
