While this isn't wonderful, it's not your major bottleneck now.  What's 
the bandwidth generated by the workload?

Now this is bad.  Please provide the output of 'kvm_stat -1' while this 
is running.  Also, describe the guest.  Is it Linux?  if so, i386 or 
x86_64?  and is CONFIG_HIGHMEM enabled?

UDP performance is a known issue now, and we are working on it.  TCP is 
much better due to segmentation offload.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
