[SOLVED] Win Server 2k25 - QEMU Disk ultra slow

depending on your actual processor you should set it to x86-64-v3 or x86-64-v4.
it exposes more processorflags/features to the OS.

im usually running them with v3, as my processors dont support AVX512.

the xeon gold 5118 supports AVX-512, so you could go with v4.
dont forget to set the +aes flag.
Thank you for the additional information. I am running it with v4 now and it doubled the rates again. Now I have finally reached the hardware limits and learned on the way. Thank You!
