   Yes, which I guess is due to the ssd drive's speed.  Even with 5 vb   
   guests all running at the same time (each is allowed to access 2   
   cpus and 2GB ram, and up to 16GB drive space), I'm not seeing any   
   noticeable slowdowns, except of course on internet downloads when   
   multiple systems are downloading at the same time.

   I've now added two more, so the host is Mageia 2 x86-64, and I have   
   i586 and x86-64 guests for both Mageia 1 and 2.   
      
   During the creation of the vb guests, on the first screen where you   
   provide a name, os, and version, select Linux and either Mandriva   
   (64-bit) or Mageia (64-bit), not just Mandriva or Mageia.  Also, in   
   the settings, make sure PAE is enabled for the processor, so the   
   server kernel can be used.   
      
   I'm on the Mageia qa team, so it's useful for me to have both arches   
   of both releases all running as vb guests, at the same time.
