> ksm is good but need some tweaks to doesnt become a problem more than a help Right, if there is a saner default we should use it, and if there is no sane default we should consider disabling it by default, with strong pointers on how to enable it with the right sleep_millisecs value. > I'd consider to off ksm in /etc/default/qemu-kvm for desktop versions of > Ubuntu (availabe but off by default) That's difficult to do, since packages have no way to tell if they are on a "server". > I'd consider to switch default value of sleep_millisecs: 120 even a bit > higher in the ubuntu server version.
