Hi, people have had this problem with SpeedStep machines, where it is related to qemu timing being based on CPU cycle count, which is thereby messed up. Since it seems to occur with frequency scaling disabled as well, could this be related to running on a HyperThreading CPU? Not sure what happens

Had the same problem on my SpeedStep machine, am using an ugly patch currently that replaces the CPU tick based timing with calls to the realtime clock (see my previous mails on this list). Runs XP as guest quite reliably under Suse 9.3 (using it every day to run Windows only software). Performance
