Today I tested the -smp option again. I already did this some months |
| 19 |
ago with an older qemu version and there it seemed that it slows |
| 20 |
things down. But now it makes my vm a lot snappier (qemu-2.4.1-r2). |

On the guest the xubuntu xfce desktop is much more responsive and |
| 23 |
firefox and all other apps are running a lot smoother when I use |
| 24 |
"-smp 4" (my host CPU is a quadcore CPU). |

I don't know for sure if this also effects the speed of the emulated |
| 27 |
guest CPU (e.g. while compiling), but I think so. |
