[Bug 578930] Re: qemu-kvm: ksmd should have a less CPU-hogging default config

[Derek Simkowiak]

I'm getting burned by this too, and I disagree with Mr. Kirkland's
assertion that Ubuntu should just use the upstream default.

There are many, many Ubuntu packages which alter the "upstream default"
to make Ubuntu a more user-friendly experience.  One could even argue
that Ubuntu's best feature is that it changes the "upstream defaults" of
the world to be something that actually works for human beings.

Please, set this to a reasonable value (200ms?).  As has been pointed
out, the "upsteam default" is not even considered a reasonable value by
the upstream maintainers.

Ethically speaking, this bug is causing more CPU power consumption (and
thus, global warming) for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
