No. It boots similarly fast as with 64-bit host. 

This problem you are experiencing is only reproducible on 32-bit host,
64-bit host is OK, correct?

Motsatti,

I checked again, guest still booting stop at the loading scroll bar. Let
find what difference between ours.
Can you check if your reproduce steps:
1) 32-bit WinXP

2) shadow mode

Windows guest did not blue screen with latest KVM commit, but guest hang

This issue only happen on shadow mode. Windows guest can boot up with EPT
mode.
