@ -253,10 +253,10 @@ The option *IO Thread* can only be used when using a disk with the *VirtIO*
controller, or with the *SCSI* controller, when the emulated controller type is
*VirtIO SCSI single*. With *IO Thread* enabled, QEMU creates one I/O thread per
storage controller, rather than handling all I/O in the main event loop or vCPU
threads. This can increase performance, because of improved work distribution
and also avoid hangs under very I/O-intensive host workloads, because other
threads won't be blocked waiting for I/O.
threads. One benefit is better work distribution and utilization of the
underlying storage. Another benefit is reduced latency (hangs) in the guest for
very I/O-intensive host workloads, since neither the main thread nor a vCPU
thread can be blocked by disk I/O.
