I found this bug in memory/queue branch of qemu.git on September 21st. As some codes in memory branch were merged into master branch, the master tree of qemu.git also has this issue now.
** Description changed: - qemu.git commit: 6cc7686696f73ae87cadef4450776a488b0e0c8b + qemu.git (memory/queue branch) commit: 6cc7686696f73ae87cadef4450776a488b0e0c8b + or qemu.git (master branch) commit: 8843cf40c0f482949e6ae9d0119e45d6b96fe890 kvm.git commit: 7f914d61cd2156e34a7852462bb4932621f33a34 - It will costs about 180 seconds to booting up a rhel6 guest. But when I - use qemu-kvm.git with commit a040d28b, the rhel6 guest can boot up in - about 50 seconds. I did the comparative test in the same box and using - the same command line to create a guest BTW, I tested qemu-kvm.git not - qemu.git before kernel.org was down. + It will costs about 180 seconds to booting up a rhel6 guest.
