[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1529173] [NEW] Absolutely slow Windows XP SP3 installation

[T-artem]

Public bug reported:

Host: Linux 4.3.3 vanilla x86-64/Qemu 2.5 i686 (mixed env)
Guest: Windows XP Professional SP3 (i686)

This is my launch string:

$ qemu-system-i386 \
-name "Windows XP Professional SP3" \
-vga std \
-net nic,model=pcnet \
-cpu core2duo \
-smp cores=2 \
-cdrom /tmp/en_winxp_pro_with_sp3_vl.iso \
-hda Windows_XP.qcow \
-boot d \
-net nic \
-net user \
-m 1536 \
-localtime

Console output:

warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:EDX.vme [bit 1]
warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.80000001H:EDX.syscall

After hitting 35% installation more or less stalls (it actually doesn't
but it progresses 1% a minute which is totally unacceptable).
