</div>fyi the problem I was having with that a couple of betas ago I tracked<br>
down to being a VM smp problem. I was telling kvm to give it two cpus,<br>
and dmesg in the VM was showing that linux had a problem with that and<br>
so was treating them like two physical cpus instead of 2 cores of the<br>
same, and using a huge amount of kernel overhead passing data between<br>
the two of them the hard way. Running 'top' showed that 30-50% of the<br>
system load was due to 'wa'iting for the kernel. Going back to one cpu<br>
in the VM setup fixed that problem, but of course made things like bootup<br>
run a little slower. maybe if I told qemu/kvm the cpu type to emulate<br>
(go native) it would be happier?<br>
<br>
when using in a VM (typically tunneled over 'ssh -C') the first things I<br>
do are shut off the compositor (settings->advanced window manger settings)<br>
and set the background image to a solid color. lots less to pipe through<br>
that way. If I knew how to make that version of xfce only show the window<br>
border while moving or resizing I'd do that too.<br>

</div>we should run the dpkg query for package size + sort from main.sh to make<br>
sure no big new packages or now-redundant old now didn't get newly stranded<br>
on the disc. (otherwise, what grew from the last full-iso test?)<br>
