Just same as above happened for me again.
This time, I equipped the guest in one virtio card and one e1000 card.

00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Qumranet, Inc. Device 1000
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)

Pinging e1000 card on affected guest - replies are as fast:

# ping 10.1.1.1
PING 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=5.86 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=3.40 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.791 ms

Pinging virtio on affected guest - slow:

# ping 192.168.113.83
PING 192.168.113.83 (192.168.113.83) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.113.83: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=21.6 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.113.83: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1000 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.113.83: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=2.73 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.113.83: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=243 ms


(this is same network, guests on the same host, so latencies are not caused by packets 
travelling around the globe).
