and a day.
The host is a recent quad core with 5gigs of ram, is this normal
for kvm?
Thanks!

Last I checked (year or more ago) it was a known bug (I think
ACPI-related). In short, Windows makes some special system calls during
install - they supposedly speed up installation on raw hardware, but
slow down by a lot on virtual machines. Workaround was to disable ACPI
during install... or something to that effect
The other possibility is that the /dev/kvm doesn't have the right permissions
and the VM was run as a normal user, in emulation mode rather than hardware
assist. YMMV.
