Hpdv6000 series. glx gears on the debian host glx gears are 2500 fps on the guest without direct rendering enabled is 190 fps and with direct rendering enable only about 220 fps. But like I said no worries it is pretty darn stable with effects off. btw this is

Seemed to get it pretty stable using direct rendering using jiffies clocksource now to deal with time drift :confused:
