I'm getting burned by this too, and I disagree with Mr. Kirkland's assertion that Ubuntu should just use the upstream default.
There are many, many Ubuntu packages which alter the "upstream default" to make Ubuntu a more user-friendly experience. One could even argue that Ubuntu's best feature is that it changes the "upstream defaults" of the world to be something that actually works for human beings. Please, set this to a reasonable value (200ms?). As has been pointed out, the "upsteam default" is not even considered a reasonable value by the upstream maintainers. Ethically speaking, this bug is causing more CPU power consumption (and thus, global warming) for absolutely no reason whatsoever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578930 Title: qemu-kvm: ksmd should have a less CPU-hogging default config -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
