  Hi,

The vga display is very slow when using latest svn with kvm enabled.
Just try to boot any linux kernel with vesafb enabled (vga=0x314 for
address@hidden), enjoy watching the boot messages scroll.  Booting without
kvm enabled is *faster*.

Feels like every single screen access is trapped or something like that.
kvm_stat confirms that, there are tons of mmio exits:
