4.0.x was okay for me (Windows server guests) but 4.1.4 was a complete disaster. The guest literally moved at SNAIL pace. Removed all cores save one and then it moved at TURTLE pace. 4.1.x is do not touch even with a ten foot pole. At least with Windows guests.
This doesn't appear to be universally true. We've run 4.1.4 with Windows 7 64bit on top of CentOS 6 and not seen any noticeable performance problems. The way you describe it makes me think it's not the sort of thing we could not notice if it was happening. This was Windows 7 Enterprise as opposed to a server OS guest.
Oh, was io-apic enabled too?
