Thank you folks for the insights.
I know everyone with the knowledge in made magic to come with the current QEMU and you're working on enhancements. I'm unfortunately unable to help with that. I couldn't even make my own build for on Windows!
That said, I'm curioux and looking for out of the bag tricks until the next release.
This QEMU is fun to use and the accelerator makes it finally usable.
Ramdisk might have been a real performance accelerator for Windows hosts with enough RAM available. Since I can't find the temp memory image file is saved, I can't use that option.
Any other hint would help.
Regards,
Francois

IIUC this is a reference to shmfs. So this doesn't apply to KQEMU on Windows
hosts. I'm not an expert on the Windows versions tho, so I'm not 100% sure of
this.
