Re: [Qemu-devel] Using multiple cores in qemu was Re: threads on qemu

[C.W. Betts]

I'm just trying to think of ways to improve, so don't hurt me too much.

What about splitting up the CPU and other functions into their own threads? 
The CPU emulation is probably the biggest thing that uses the CPU, the 
second biggest the display(?).

working is the virtual timing, right?  In what way could this be fixed, and 
will it make qemu faster?
