hm, I'll try this today :)
thanks, but now what I think will most kill performance is that even
though I say -smp 2 and it has two cpus (my machine is in fact dual
core), it has one and only one process for all qemu vm, and there fore
uses just one core.

is it really supposed to behave this way ?

thanks again
