I would expect to see an "--enable-kvm" flag or similar. Without this QEMU will emulate the CPU instead of using any virtualisation features. So far as I know VirtualBox isn't an emulator and so will always run using virtualisation. Using emulation would result in significantly reduced performance and high CPU usage - this is likely the cause of what you are seeing. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
