Cluster and L1/L2 table size are the only QED-specific parameters. What to tune really depends on what bottleneck you are seeing. You need to do disk I/O benchmarks to find that out. If you are generally looking for good settings, I suggest leaving the QED parameters at their default and running with -drive if=virtio,cache=none,aio=native,file=path/to/image.qed with a recent QEMU and host kernel.
