YMMV, but it seems to allow QEMU to run Windows guests at about > the same speed as VMWare. http://qemu.org/qemu-accel.html for details. Definitely using kqemu-kmod. I was developing with eclipse under win32 and it was rather painful... interestingly enough, the clock inside the vm was ticking like crazy (4 or so times as fast as normal ) - i ended up syncwing via ntp every 90 seconds :D.
