I know I'm a very much edge case user of rpcemu (probably). I use rpcemu to run "headless" fish.ccl4.org, which is a viewdata bulletin board - it used to run on an A5000, orginally on a Demon employee's baseband line and various DSL lines since. The A5000 packed in a bit ago (though I still have it somewhere).
For various reasons it now runs on a VM "somewhere" using rpcemu, with a config of: bridgename = br0 model = RPCSA mouse_twobutton = 0 network_type = iptunnelling mouse_following = 1 cdrom_type = 0 cdrom_enabled = 0 refresh_rate = 5 stretch_mode = 1 sound_enabled = 0 vram_size = 2 mem_size = 32 ipaddress = 172.31.0.1 cpu_idle = 1 With this it takes about 12% or less cpu on idle. There is no window manager, just Xvnc. I use hostfs, I haven't tried it recently but with cpu_idle=1 it quickly resulted in corrupt .hdf images previously. I tried the new version with the shift to Qt and it does seem slightly confused with the lack of a window manager and the cpu has increased to more like 16% or more on idle. This is the interpreter, the recompiler has always taken lots more % when I've tried it. I've gone back to the "old" version, but any suggestions ? Can any simple tweaks be made to cope with my usage ? I would very much prefer to not run a window manager (even Matchbox) - VNC access is not the norm, but occasionally neccessary for admin. Running the old version is not a problem per se, but I would prefer to keep uptodate if possible. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
