XP SP3 guest on SL5.5 x64 KVM Host uses 100% of allocated CPUs

Hey, Mr. James Pulver I've been working with KVM for a while on SL5.5 for mostly Windows guests. Recently I've needed to run XP SP3 guests for legacy applications. However, when I set one up it maxes out the CPUs allocated to it, even when the guest CPU use is 2% or idle. Googling has only
