Please tell me the reason why Linux 2.4 shows better performance, if
you have time. Does the difference of clock tick cause the problem?

The Linux 2.6 kernel has more code running with the interrupts disabled than the 2.4 one. kqemu interprets the x86 code when the interrupts are disabled, so it is very slow in this case.

A potential solution I am investigating is to use the new paravirtualization API of the kernel versions >= 2.6.20.
