Different cpu usage between Fedora and SL6 guests

[Orion Poplawski]

While staring at top on my kvm server waiting for it to crash, I noticed that 
my idle Fedora kvm guests appear to be consuming between 8-12% cpu while my 
idle SL6 guests appear to be consuming between 0.3-2% cpu as shown in the 
qemu-kvm processes in top.

Does anyone have any insight as to why this would be the case?
