so how many VMs are open at one time, how much RAM have you? you know you can go into qubes settings and change the max RAM / per VM to say 1500 or so ? I still believe "speed step" in the UEFI was what was my slowness problem before, I believe I still have it enabled, slowness for everything but esp boot times YMMV -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
