std-disclaimer: Running on AMD processor with SVM branch

I've started the ubuntu install again, since last night it went into the 
dark hours. And my laptop shutdown the connection while I used console. 
So no recovery to the prompts :(

Now I'm trying 2 Ubuntu installs:
	13.10
	12.04

And both run equally slow. And generate msr access that would otherwise 
be trapped.

(running with 2 vCPUs, and 2G mem).
 From top:
67705 root 5 52 0 2081M 429M CPU1 1 74:38 147.66% bhyve: ubuntu-13.10
67881 root 5 52 0 2077M 194M CPU3 3 67:20 137.16% bhyve: ubuntu-12.04

And the load is always up in the 150%....

So obviously these 2 installers are doing a form sort of busy waiting?

Are other people seeing the same on AMD cpus or on Intel CPUs?

Thanx,
