I'm trying to work out something involving my 18.04 upgrade. I thought I had succeeded, but alas one problem remains for full upgrade. I normally use LXD containers to test things but LTSP can't seem to easily create what it needs in a container so I'm using a full vm via kvm.
This thing is slow. It has 2 cores of my i5, 2gb of ram. Even idling it is dead dog slow. I can type a command over ssh or through virt-manager and I can count a couple seconds before it responds. On the host everything is damn near instant.
I've double checked everything for virtualization is enabled in the bios. It is running on a spinning hard drive admittedly, but would that make that big a difference in running a simple ls command? It works, and I can use it but I'm curious as to why it is so so slow to use. My hardware isn't exactly a high powered machine, but this is just sad to be honest. Worse yet, in virt-manager it shows the cpu barely being used. Is this just lack of ssd? Have I just gotten so used to ssd's and this is what a computer used to feel like on a spinner?
