are booting inside a VM. There are three reasons to disable this: o It causes the VM host to believe that all the tested pages or RAM are in use. This in turn may force the host to page out pages of RAM belonging to other VMs, or otherwise cause problems with fair resource sharing on the VM cluster. o It adds significant time to the boot process (around 1 second/Gig in testing) o It is unnecessary - the host should have already verified that the memory is functional etc. Note that this simply changes the default when in a VM - it can still be overridden using the hw.memtest.tests tunable.
