QEMU vs. KQEMU vs. KVM

With the just announced open sourcing of the QEMU accelerator it would be interesting to have some idea of the performance differences between QEMU, QEMU + accelerator and KVM.
It turns out that someone has already done the hard work for us. See http://linux.inet.hr/ article Finally user-friendly virtualization for Linux.
KVM and QEMU with it’s accelerator both appear to be capable of utilizing CPU and memory at close to native speeds (perhaps 80%). Definitely worth another look on the laptop.
