When I try to do a yum upgrade, it has serious network performance problems. It actually had connection timeouts talking to archive.kernel.org and mirrors.rit.edu, among others. I have no trouble talking to those servers from the host, and get high bandwidth and low latency, so I don't know any reason why the performance in QEMU should be so abysmal.

Yes, qemu emulates the entire arm hardware stack so its not the speediest. It works OK but its certainly not the fastest.
