Grabbed the version, created a disk image of 5G and tried to load and
iso via 
/usr/local/bin/qemu  -hda ~/virtualdisk.img -cdrom
~/Downloads/oneiric-desktop-i386-alpha3-lubuntu.iso -boot d -m 1024

and it is very, very slow. Tried the same with the installed 0.11
version on this ubuntu karmic 9.10 machine (kernel 2.6.31) and
performance was okay, and it was even better with version 0.14.1 which I
just downloaded and built.

Sounds like maybe you are using Qemu without KVM?
Is running qemu with the "--enable-kvm" option better?

"--enable-kvm" used to be the default in qemu-kvm, but maybe this changed
(I haven't been following the discussion in this area).

It's the default.  But maybe it broke somehow?

Try 'info kvm' in the qemu monitor (alt-ctrl-2).

"--enable-kvm" worked and - from a first impression - runs pretty well!
Thanks.
