Comment 13 for bug 667071

Thanks for your email.
I would like to ask what, in your opinion causes the bug to appear in the first place?
I was having with the old Gateway notebook's slowness, I installed 10.10
into VMWare's virtual box on my much higher-performance MacBookPro Unibody with 8GB of memory.
10.10 is yet, quite new, very fast.
So far, this bug hasn't shown up, but if you know the conditions that cause this "rollover",
then I'd be happy to watch out for it as I develop the VMware's version which I think I'll continue to use, for now.

Thanks for your help,

Vladimir Vooss
