freebsd under qemu - slow

new laptop:
  LENOVO, 4313CTO, ThinkPad T510
  Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 540 @ 2.53GHz
  Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Arrandale
  4G RAM (DDR3-10600)

old laptop:
  Acer, Navarro, Aspire 5100
  AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 1995.02-MHz
  2.5G RAM

apparently video on freebsd isn't yet working out with the Arrandale, so 
i'm running ubuntu on the newer laptop and trying to get freebsd running 
under qemu. it's working, but it's painfully slow. a few CPU benchmarks 
show my old laptop running ten times faster!!!

CPU benchmarks between ubuntu on the new hardware and freebsd on the old 
hardware, ubuntu is running about twice as fast. i'd hope to get 
freebsd/qemu running at least as fast as the old hardware.

am i doing something wrong, or is this as good as it gets?
