First, thanks to Fabrice for releasing a new kqemu and Juergen Lock for a prompt freebsd port update! I did some testing and have the following to report:
The good news: - plan 9 works with kernel-kqemu and user-kqemu. - user mode time in user/kernel kqemu mode is 1/3 of -no-kqemu case for plan 9 (I used "mk clean all" in /sys/src/9/pc dir as a benchmark). Not so good news: - compared to freebsd and other guests where we get over 10 times performance improvement for usermode code, plan9 only gets about 3 times. - elapsed time in user-kqemu is 2/3 of -no-kqemu for plan 9. - elapsed time in kernel-kqemu is *six* times that of -no-kqemu. system time in kernel-kqemu mode is *11* times that of -no-kqemu. Bad news: - FreeBSD4 guest image dies during boot in init when user/kernel kqemu is used. It works in -no-kqemu mode as before. - mouse scrolling is broken. The mouse seems to think it is at a boundary while still in the middle of the qemu window. You have to scroll it in the opposite direction beyond the qemu window boundary to fix this. Win2k seems to work about as well as before (which is pretty darn good!). I wonder if the qemu port needs to be updated -- does the new kqemu depend on changes made in qemu since 4/14 (the date of freebsd port of qemu)? _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
