Hi Martijn,
Can you please provide the QEMU command line, together with kvm and qemu version?
This information will be helpful for reproducing the problem.
However, if the problem is not reproducible on a local setup, we will
probably need to ask collecting some performance information with
xperf tool.
Sure!
Command line is this:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name Getafix -S -M rhel6.5.0 -cpu
