You would imagine that web servers would notice this rather a lot :)
Some versions of 2.2 had truly appalling VM behaviour (to the point
that I could not run Ardour on them at all). I suggest you start by
moving to 2.4, and then decide if you still need test tools. I
suspect you won't, because the issue will go away, but thats the best
way, I think.
