Yeah, I was a bit confused here.  KVM used to print a kernel message
when it was loaded, but I've noticed that the latest version doesn't.
Is the kvm module loaded?  eg. on my Intel system:

# /sbin/lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel              30784  0 
kvm                   108376  1 kvm_intel

As for why it's slow ... Try a single virtual CPU to start with, since
support for SMP guests in KVM is pretty new (less than 8 months old
IIRC).

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
