Further checking indicted to me that for what ever reason, using the
qemu COW always delivered a 100%cpu usage. I kept playing, without
using a backing file ,things worked far better. My Ubuntu 2004 is due
to be replaced and I am tempted to move to Debian due to mounting
dissatisfaction with Ubuntu but, 15 years, big call ....

So, yes, thats more or less killed off my idea of testing my app on
SPARC, sorry to trouble you.

Yes, I understand that. But at the time I did not fully understand the
Lazarus/powerpc64 issues and needed, quickly, to test my app. Detailed
in another message addressed to bug #985946.  

As I have also kept a basic powerpc64 image, easy to bring that up and
use the debian install now I believe.
