Very unlikely - using a block device directly is usually both the
fastest and most reliable way to run a guest OS.
You are using -vga vmware - in my experience, Qemu's VMWare VGA
emulation isn't very reliable with Windows guests (redraw problems).
-vga std and the AnaPa VESA driver (for Windows 2000, which doesn't
have native VESA driver) work the fastest (-vga cirrus also works, but
it's slightly slower for some reason).
How does the VM freeze - is there a BSOD? What's qemu-kvm's CPU usage
when the VM freezes?
