From 56f98d12a79585a4d4c459160f39403e05b620a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Kanavin Date: Fri, 7 May 2021 22:16:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qemu: use 4 cores in qemu guests Each of the cores is mapped to a thread on the host, this should speed up things inside qemu which can take advantage of that.
