[Bug 1913505] Re: Windows XP slow on Apple M1

[John Arbuckle]

Tried the patch.
Start up time does not appear to be improved.
I used both qemu-system-i386 and qemu-system-x86_64 with the same results.
To compare notes I tried Windows 7. It starts up much faster than Windows XP.

Title:
  Windows XP slow on Apple M1

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Qemu installed by using brew install qemu -s on M1

  QEMU emulator version 5.2.0
  XP image from: https://archive.org/details/WinXPProSP3x86

  Commands run:
  $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 xpsp3.img 10G
  $ qemu-system-i386 -m 512 -hda xpsp3.img -cdrom 
WinXPProSP3x86/en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_vl_x14-73974.iso
 -boot d

  It's taken 3 days now with qemu running at around 94% CPU and
  installation hasn't finished. The mouse pointer moves and occasionally
  changes between the pointer and hourglass so it doesn't seem to have
  frozen.
