A virtual machine on a NUMA host can be slow due to remote memory access costs, which can be mitigated by understanding the NUMA topology and making informed placement decisions. Xen's split design makes it challenging to manage NUMA, but Edera's stack of changes aims to make Xen-based virtualization NUMA-aware end-to-end, improving performance and predictability.

Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
