Hi Rick, I did that
$]qemu -hda WinXP_Home.img -kernel-kqemu -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -cdrom software.iso
Still the same.
Maybe the Macs do not reneder fast enough but I doubt it.

It is no sweat really, it is usable for one BIG reason.
Since Win4Lin does not support ntdll.dll newdev.dll etc it just dont work with custom device drivers.
Qemu has no problems and custom drivers works great which was a surprise.
Win4Lin has blazing speed, but Vmware is not much faster than qemu anyway, so it is unfair for me to critisize.

Ok I see what went wrong.
I accidentally had a XEN kernel still running so insmod did not work.
Now it works and the message disappeared.

But, kqemu is not much faster than qemu. I perceive about 1.5x over a
1gbit network  to a terminal through an x session.
It is much much slower than win4lin, but it is free and
I can live with it under most applications except streaming.
Is there something I could have done wrong?

not necessarily wrong, but try qemu with the -kernel-kqemu command line 
option - ie, qemu -kernel-kqemu -hda WinXP_Home.img
