Hi All,
Running Windows 2012 R2 (64 bit) on oVirt 3.5.1-1.el6 caused a rather high cpu load, even ~20% when doing nothing. Turning off theMemory Balloon Device made the problem disappear.
The guest tools are installed using the ovirt-guest-tools-3.5_5.iso.
Anyone got the same issue? What is causing this? Seems like a bug to me.
Kind regards,
Winny
Hi Winny, Can you please open a bug with the relevant versions you have? Thanks, Doron

Yes it does indeed seem to be a bug, and from how this sounds like, I would suspect the windows ballooning driver.
