fyi the problem I was having with that a couple of betas ago I tracked down to being a VM smp problem. I was telling kvm to give it two cpus, and dmesg in the VM was showing that linux had a problem with that and so was treating them like two physical cpus instead of 2 cores of the same, and using a huge amount of kernel overhead passing data between the two of them the hard way. Running 'top' showed that 30-50% of the system load was due to 'wa'iting for the kernel. Going back to one cpu in the VM setup fixed that problem, but of course made things like bootup run a little slower. maybe if I told qemu/kvm the cpu type to emulate (go native) it would be happier? when using in a VM (typically tunneled over 'ssh -C') the first things I do are shut off the compositor (settings->advanced window manger settings) and set the background image to a solid color. lots less to pipe through that way. If I knew how to make that version of xfce only show the window border while moving or resizing I'd do that too. > FYI, Full iso is built and ready for testing.
