Re: [libvirt-users] Sluggish performance with virtio and Win10

Hello, I'm using virt-manager on my F23 box to run a Windows 10 image but the performance is so bad it's killing me. I have "vmx" flag in /proc/cpuinfo # lsmod |grep kvm kvm_intel 167936 6 kvm 503808 1 kvm_intel virtio-win-0.1.112-1.noarch But no virtio modules loaded. Should they be loaded nowadays?

The disk format used is vmdk with no caching and native mode. The io is 100% in windows task manager performing less than 1MB/s Any clues?
