Hi there- You can actually set it to whatever you want, and have it persist across boots. Just modify the values in the file /etc/default/qemu-kvm.
We're just using the default, upstream kernel value for SLEEP_MILLISECONDS, which is 20. It does seem a bit aggressive, but it's the upstream default. We should have a discussion with them to see if it makes sense to change it. However, I'm going to mark this won't-fix against the qemu-kvm package, since we have an easy configuration file where you can tune this value to your liking. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- Lucid qemu-kvm: ksmd default config is CPU hog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
