   Haiku slow on qemu   
   17 Sep 09 20:04:30   
   
   From: ank@spamfence.net   
      
   I downloaded haiku-alpha-gcc4.image and trying to run it in qemu. It's   
   sluggish (1.6 GHZ AMD64, supposed to be 2.6 in Pentium measurements as   
   far as I know) but just 1 GB RAM.   
      
   I run it on Ubuntu Linux. There is just Gnome running after a fresh boot.   
      
   I wasn't able to start it in Virtualbox (how?) to see if it would be   
   faster.   
      
   Cool would be to boot this image via grub. But as far as I check Google   
   results you can't, need to install it into a blank partition (or USB   
   stick, may be another thing I'm going to try).   
      
   Well in qemu it takes long to boot. Sometimes I have to do slow mouse   
   clicks as it seems not to recognize quick clicks like on Linux or   
   Windows. It also takes about 90 secs to load Bezilla. And most scary, the   
   clock starts running fast. After about 15 minutes it's about 1 minute in   
   the future and seems to accelerate, so after 30 minutes it's 3-4 minutes   
   already.   
      
   Any idea?
