- New way of CPUs scheduling in SMP mode brings up to 50% speedup to the
...
SMP emulation. New implementation uses dynamic CPU quantum value and takes
full advantage of the trace cache. Each emulated processor will execute
the whole trace before switching to the next processor.
* It is also safe to use large (up to 16 instructions) quantum values for
the SMP emulation now and improve performance even further.
The same merge also completely fixes SF bug :
[3312237] stepN command might be not working properly
Handlers chaining speedups are also supported with SMP emulation now.

Patch for emulating target with larger memory than host has available by Gary Cameron.
...
The patch was posted in mailing list at Thu 6/16/2011.
Desription for CHANGES:
- Memory
- Added new configure option which enables RAM file backing for large guest
memory with a smaller amount host memory, without causing a panic when
host memory is exhausted (patch by Gary Cameron). To enable configure with
--enable-large-ramfile option.
