Update on VirtualBox and KVM (was: dual booting)

[William Park]

Hi all,

TigerDirect has a sale on quad-core Phenom X4 2.4GHz 125W,
so I bought it to upgrade my single-core Athlon 64 2.4GHz 45W.

After doing some kernel compiles, I saw 4x speedup in both native
and virtual machines.  Ball-park benchmark is that virtual machines
are 50% slower than native machine, and that VirtualBox and KVM
are about the same.  Well, at least, for kernel compiles.  KVM's 
video/mouse driver are dog slow...
