If you do "killall -ALRM qemu-kvm" after the slowdown has occurred, does
it make things speed up again for a while?
If so, the issue is fixed by:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ba661292a2bc6ddd305a212b0526e5dc22195fe7
It also got applied in 2.6.26.3 and 2.6.25.16.
Cheers,
Mark.
