I working on an Ubuntu based remote desktop environment which would run Firefox/Chrome in a KVM virtualmachine but the performance is far from "good" even compared to a laptop so I have tried CPU passthrough to present all the available flags for the VM guest like SSE2, SSE4.
Did anyone achieve performance gain by doing so with these softwares in a VM or it does not matter even if I use a generic kvm processor inside?
