[ovirt-users] Ovirt VM Performance abd CPU times

We tried a minimal installation from CD of RedHat 5.10 and it is the same.

This should be fairly easy to reproduce:

- Install a RedHat 6.5 hypervisor
- Install a RedHat 5.10 guest in it
- Enjoy your overused CPU

Is there someone with a similar setup out there?
