 ## Massive Performance Improvement On Virtual Machines
 
-Thanks to the recent kernel proflling implementation, 4lDO2 discovered that a huge bottleneck in the context switching code, was simply reading the system time. That involves reading hardware registers from the HPET, which although reasonably fast on real hardware, is particularly slow on VMs as it requires expensive VM exits. This cost is now avoided by using the [TSC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Stamp_Counter) using [KVM's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine) paravirtualized system time API, resulting in a massive speedup.

 Thus all system tasks have a much better performance now, from more IO throughput to network speed. We are doing benchmarks to determine the scale of this improvement.

 Ribbon added the `promote` TODO on the packaging convention for working recipes under the WIP category of Cookbook, it will improve the packagers communication. As many of our WIP packages are now ready to go, they need to be moved to the main categories at `cookbook/recipes`.
 
-Ribbon has been marking recipes with the "promote" TODO comment, to indicate that the package should find a new home in the corresponding main Cookbook category.
 If you would like to help test and promote recipes, please join our [GitLab](https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox/) and [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#redox-join:matrix.org).
 
 More programs were packaged as usual.
