Thanks, I have done so now. 

The situation has improved, the speed with kqemu and without kqemu is now 
approximately the same; but it is still much worse than what was reported by 
the person for whom kqemu actually works.

For me, with this driver, the bootup to the logon prompt takes about 15 sec, 
and after the logon button is pressed, it takes about 12 sec more to get to 
the desktop (and be able to work, not look at the hourglass). This does not 
change whether -no-kqemu is used. For the person for whom it works, with the 
same image - without the driver! - bootup took 6 sec to logon prompt, then 3 
sec to desktop.

In fact the very first Windows bootup after the install, where it probably did 
hardware detection, took nearly an hour. (kqemu was enabled).
