Installed it and I got similar results to yours, the largest overhead is BIOS: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/37cfb3d...

Standard seabios doesn't support serial line (well, it was quite a while ago that I've tested this and it didn't back then, maybe things have changed since then).

Maybe this should go to the qemu mail list, but I have domains configured to dump to serial. Works fine I see Grub menu/kernel messages and the like, but the "bootmenu" listing only shows up over vnc. Is there a way to have that show up over serial? I definitely can hit up the qemu mail list as well if inappropriate for here
