You could be suffering from high interrupt latency. If the guest CPU is not idle then qemu only checks for interrupts (eg. the network RX interrupt) every 1ms or 1/host_HZ seconds, whichever is greater. If the guest CPU is idle it should respond immediately. I wouldn't be surprised if this problem is worse when using kqemu.
