Performance test plan?<br>

<li>Goals/design</li>
<li>Individual tests</li>
<li>What do you intend to hold constant and what will you vary?</li>
<li>VM host machine environment E.g. hardware CPU/GPU/chip-sets,
Linux kernel video module, X-Windows video driver</li>
<li>VM settings to be used (chipset, EFI, display, etc.)<br>

to take a few tests first of all with 512MB, 1GB and 2GB RAM for
starters and I'll take a few screenshots of performance manager

memory required aswell as this is another common feature that
old computers lack.

Thanks for bringing this up again, Ali did some tests back
in July,<br>
the current bug report on the issue is here:<br>

<br>
It would be great if we could get some more tests run
against both<br>
12.04 and 13.10 to determine where we stand today and make
updates<br>
accordingly. Is anyone able to spin up some VMs to determine
where we<br>
stand?<br>
