That being said, the assets are spot on and visually it seems identical.

Well... You're comparing performance of almost 20 year old computers to your current machine. It takes 3 seconds to start paint. The webpage is 'only' using 85-101MB ram to do nothing. Remind you that the requirements were: 233MHz CPU + 64MB RAM Let's say you're running a late 2019 macbook pro 13". That's: 16384MB RAM, and 1400-3900 MHz cpu (x8 threads) with 8MB cache. Which includes branch etc etc. All that aside, i…
No, I was specifically talking about load time which is instant (compared to the majority of the internet which is not). Also, as far as hardware is concerned, I am comparing a 14 year gap between a desktop computer of 2001 to a 2015 iPhone 6s - a 5 year old phone that still runs on battery for about 6 hours. But that has nothing to do with load time and why most websites today can’t load in under 1 second (or even 1…

Open the paint example.. it actually takes a few seconds
That’s faster than I can remember it loading in real windows xp on a desktop (and that was installed versus downloading additional code for that module).
Impressive!

I can somewhat understand having to compile for XP (it's been 20 years but... legacy, I get it). However compiling on XP must be hell. Do you mind me asking what you do that requires this?
Aerospace. A specific instrument requires that its code is compiled with a gcc version from the nineties . It has been working since then and introducing a new compiler would change the binary generated, thus nullifying all the accumulated flight hours. And why windows XP? Well, the gcc binary is 16 bit...

Oh, THAT'S what you mean by "crashing". I thought either the guest kernel (ie, vmlinuz or ntoskrnl) or the VM (qemu/KVM) was at fault, given that description and context. Thanks very much for the clarification. Does sound like a graphics acceleration problem, maybe also a remoting protocol issue. I only tend to launch VMs via qemu-system-x86_64 directly, so I'm not familiar with how virt-manager works - and crashes :…
> I wonder what would happen if you enabled the normal GTK qemu window (which for reference can of course be run in Xvnc in headless scenarios, my personal Xvnc preference being TigerVNC). I also wonder what would happen if you enabled SPICE and/or VNC with the GTK window enabled. Me too. I'll report back within a few days. > A better start point likely to produce more interesting/orientating info might be to run Fir…
Sure. I'll try to check this thread so often or so.
