Hi,

I will update the documentation about "-kernel-kqemu" soon.

To be short: as some people already noticed, this option allows to run 
user code and most of the kernel code on "bare metal". The result is 
usually a noticable speed up. Only the following guest OSes are 
supported: Linux, Windows 2000 or XP. The installation of Windows 
2000/XP must be run without the -kernel-kqemu option.

I did not test the win32 and x86_64 versions of kqemu yet, but the i386 
version is usable.

Fabrice.
