Ubuntu 12.10 KVM Virtualization - Ubuntu 12.04, CentOS 6.3

Ubuntu 12.10 virtualization performance benchmarking with KVM virtual machines against an Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge Extreme Edition i7-3960X host with hardware virtualization on Linux 3.5. Ubuntu Linux virtualization results compared to KVM on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and CentOS 6.3 from the same hardware system. Benchmarking for a future article on Phoronix.com.
