rawhide slow like a snail because of kernel debugging?

I wouldn't call it impossible.  I'm using rawhide in a vmware fusion virtual 
machine on my macbook (2Ghz core 2 duo) and it works quite well.  In fact, its 
faster in the virtual machine there than rawhide is on my desktop P4 2Ghz 
machine. (major hardware difference there, but keep in mind thats running osx 
and rawhide)

But yes, rawhide is in general slower than F8 both virtual and native.  Still 
not conclusive why its happening afaik.
