Indeed virtio performs better than e1000.
It should work, please provide host kernel version, kvm version, virtio

version and
windows guest type. Also the cmdline and monitor command will help.
kernel is 2.6.25.16-0.1-default of openSuse 11.0
KVM version is 63-31.1 (also shipped with the distribution)
This is pretty ancient version - could you try kvm-84 to see if it solves
your problems?
Yes, just to see if it works is not a problem. But i have many
machines, compiling for each of them would be unpractical, perhaps i
can make a new kernel rpm and install that for the other VMs, with the
latest KVM compiled in, if there's no other option i will try that, to
see if it solves the problems. Is there anything else that slipped my
mind, that would allow me to update kvm on all machines? I knew that
the version shipped with the distribution is old, but i went with it
for convenience of installation .
If you don't want to compile a new kernel and make a package.
You can compile KVM to work with your old kernel.
Then, distribute kernel modules (3 files) and kvm/qemu binary (4th file)
with rsync, done.
Still, you will have to stop virtual machines, remove/insert kvm
modules, start the guests.
