Time skew problems are not kernel specific, this bug is prensent always.
But this happens only if virtio-net windows driver is installed in guest.
Slow network for e1000 and possibly other network cards is kernel specific.
Kernels 3.10+ on hosts.
Btw, another bug in 3.9.11. One guest stopped to communicate on
ethernet. When trying to restart it, shutdown completed, but qemu process is
still running in "D" (dead) state on host. Unable to kill it. :-(
Which Fedora kernel should be fully functional? :-)
At our university we are using Fedora host over years, using mostly linux
guests, but also some windows. My problems started with 3.10 kernels.
I don't remember, which 3.9 kernel I used before.
