Re: [Xen-devel] qemu-dm cpu utilization

["George Dunlap " <dunlapg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another pertinent question is, what size screen are you using?

guests are given direct access to the virtual framebuffer.  But this
means that QEMU needs to scan the framebuffer on a regular basis to
find changes, and then do diffs to make appropriate VNC changes.  This
probably scales linearly with the number of pixels to be scanned.

Try using a lower resolution, and see what you get.
