 ## Massive Performance Improvement On Virtual Machines
 
-4lDO2 reduced the time to make a context switch in a virtual machine by 60-70% !
+Thanks to the recent kernel profilling implementation 4lDO2 discovered that the system time was triggering a context switch to get the host system time per second and sync, causing a big bottleneck in all tasks of the system. This context switch was disabled by using paravirtualization on [TSC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Stamp_Counter) using [KVM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine).
+
+Thus all system tasks have a much better performance now, from more IO throughput to network speed. We are making benchmarks to determine the scale of this improvement.

 This improvement is not applicable to Redox running on real hardware, however.
 
 Redox is becoming faster than Linux in some virtual machine workloads (with all exploit mitigations disabled, apples-to-apples comparison), more exciting optimizations are coming.
