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?
