- voltagex_ 11y agoAnyone know what they might be doing for the speed increase?
- graycoder 11y agoSeeing as it's Intel I might guess that they either have extra instructions in the instruction set they know about or other optimizations that they know to look for. Seeing as they only support 4th generation and E5 v3... it wouldn't surprise me.

Kvmtool is not cost-free, of course; starting kvmtool and creating the CPU contexts takes approximately 30 milliseconds."
