hello
Friends, I've purchased new laptop following are details of my laptop configurations.
MANUFACTURER : Acer
MODEL : Aspire E1-522-65204G50Mnkk
CPU : AMD A6-5200
RAM : 4GB
HDD : 500GB
I have installed fedora20 on this laptop, there were some bootup issues on defult install so I updated packages in it, now it is working fine, but there are problem when i try to use KVM Virtualization on it, I am trying to install fedora 20 VM(Virtual Machine) on this laptop with help of KVM but installation process is unexpectely slow and it feels like I am using a stonage machine, at some point of time I doubt if installation is progressing or it has halted, some times installer on guest vm stops responding.
Following are details of kernel and other applications which I belive are used for Virtualization.
#### how I am installing Virtual Machine
* I am installing VM with help of fedora 20 installer dvd ISO file for arch X86_64 which is kept on windows partition,
*selinux is in permissive state
* number of VCPU alloted to vm 2
* memory given to VM 1024MB
* VM hdd is qcow2 formatted image under default location of vm images under kvm
* around 90GB-100GB space available at vm installation destination
* type of installation I am trying to do fedora20 minimal
* time taken for installing fedora on vm more than 2 hrs (haven't counted exact time taken, can do so if needed)

################# my questions/rerquests as follows.
1 ) I am expirencing very slow Virtual Machine performance slow like 4-5 times slow than it is working on my host system.
2) how can I solve this issue?
3) Any possible cause of the problem?
4) have anyone expirenced this before on laptop systems?
Thank You
