A small `benchmark':

1. `normal' kqemu:

480s from `return' in grub until kde desktop up with:
	QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=sdl qemu -monitor stdio -cdrom ~/iso/KANOTIX-2006-CeBIT-RC3.iso -m 256 -usb -soundhw es1370 -localtime

then: 47s from clicking on `root shell' menu entry until rxvt up

2. -kernel-kqemu:

128s from `return' in grub until kde desktop up with:
	QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=sdl qemu -monitor stdio -cdrom ~/iso/KANOTIX-2006-CeBIT-RC3.iso -m 256 -usb -soundhw es1370 -localtime -kernel-kqemu

then below 5s from clicking on `root shell' menu entry until rxvt up!
(dmesg is filled with lines like:
	npxdna: fpcurthread == curthread 38482 times
tho)

 host CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ (2075 MHz), 512 MB RAM.

 ...is vmware much faster? :)
