I'm probably less educated about the functionality of newer qemu than I should be, but I still use the old version from ports (along with kqemu) to host Plan 9 on various systems. My understanding is that moving to the newer version(s) of qemu would introduce a performance hit, since kqemu is deprecated and whatever newer, fancier kernel integration has been introduced is not yet supported on OpenBSD. Is this wildly off-base? -sl
