When I try to do a yum upgrade, it has serious network performance problems. It actually had connection timeouts talking to <a href="http://archive.kernel.org">archive.kernel.org</a> and <a href="http://mirrors.rit.edu">mirrors.rit.edu</a>, among others. I have no trouble talking to those servers from the host, and get high bandwidth and low latency, so I don't know any reason why the performance in QEMU should be so abysmal.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Yes, qemu emulates the entire arm hardware stack so its not the speediest. It works OK but its certainly not the fastest.</p>
