Hi,

since i updated my proxmox servers to version 3, i can see that the kvm windows xp machines has a higher cpu load. Since updated to version 3 i use memory ballooning on this xp machines. If i switch balloon to 0, there is no change. Is the higher cpu load normal?

As example i have uploaded to rrd examples.
