Describe the issue
When I try to virtualize any x86/64 software (windows and os/2), it is very, very slow. Under virtualization, it takes nearly 3 hours to install Windows XP when I download the config from the UTM website plus the recommended ISO. But, when I use emulation, all of these versions of Windows install much quicker. Instead of 3 hours, it took only 50 minutes to install Windows XP. I am still very new to VMs and emulation in general, but could there be some configuration issue that I could be having? I read online that virtualization should be faster than emulation, but I have the opposite problem! I'm using a 2019 Macbook Pro 16"

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 4.4.5 (94)
  • macOS Version: 11.7.10
  • Mac Chip: Intel Core i9 9980HK

Crash log
There was no crash

I tried to upload my debug log but the button constantly was greyed out so I couldn't see it

I tried looking for my config.plist file, but I couldn't find it where they said it was

I think this is a QEMU issue that's been fixed upstream. Will revisit this once we update QEMU.
