But why would it appear to run at full speed when using serial console, boot 
without slowness or delay when using curses console, yet load and run 
extremely slowly (if at all) when using VESA console?

And why would the *first* VM run normally, at normal speed, while the second 
one hangs?

Even at full, pure emulation, the VM should not be running slower than a 
PDP-8. Not on a dual athlon 5000+. Were it simply pure software emulation, the 
VM would have continue to load and continued to operate, not hang doing 
nothing.

On my dual athlon, replacing vga-bios.bin solved the problem. But it didn't 
solve the problem on my friend's system.

Thewe's something vewy, vewy, scwewy wit'' dis wabbit.
