To test it with version 0.11.0.308 (give me a few days and try it)

> Also, can you see if vcpus = 1 Improve the situation any?

Probe without ioemu, pae = 1 hap = 1, vcpus = 1 and appears to achieve
a small improvement, now I have readings from the dumU 120Mb/sa
125MB/sec.
Probe with ioemu, pae = 1 hap = 1, vcpus = 1 and there is a small
improvement over vcpus = 16,
now I read from the dumU 115Mb/sa 120MB/sec.

 Also give me a few days and I sent it.

  I recommend that around for the best performance with gplpv?
  The most intelligent will migrate to Windows 64bit?
