Speeding up qubesctl commands

[otter2]

I have a plan:

1. give whole bunch of ram to dom0
2. set up a RAM drive
3. create an lvm pool on it
4. clone management template and appvm there
5. configure them to be the default management template
6. undo all this
7. record 2-5 and 6 as two scripts

Something like this should work per this guide (excluding persistency parts, of course)

Qubes in tmpfs

You can use your QubesOS 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 just like TailsOS, with persistent storage for VMs. That is pretty simple! It takes 6Gb of extra 𝚁𝙰𝙼 (for store root filesystem files). The steeps: Install QubesOS, boot to it and make base configuration: screen resolution, keyboard layout, etc. Edit kernel parameters variables at grub settings file /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... 𝚛𝚍.𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔" GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="... dom0_mem=max:10240M ..." The 𝚛𝚍𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔 option - drop to a shell at the en…

Qube preloading is a mistake.

p.s. 34 seconds is slow! Is this a storage or cpu bottleneck for you? My idea is useless if cpu is the limitation

p.p.s. I don’t like my plan no more, it permanently takes away significant chunk of memory from the system. It might be okay for people with a lot of memory though, especially if they run minimal templates. Qube preloading is fine.
