To unlock the true speed of your QCOW2 drive, switch the disk controller from IDE to VirtIO: Shut down the VM.
Remember: The "top" of virtualization is not a destination but a process. Continuously monitor with top on the host, benchmark inside Windows, and refine your Qcow2 parameters. Do that, and your Windows-on-XPQcow2 environment will run at the top of its class.

Windows XP was not designed for modern virtualization. Several internal settings must be adjusted to make it feel fast.
QCOW2 is favored for virtual machines because it supports advanced features: Take snapshots before modifying systems.
Running an OS as old as Windows XP on modern KVM setups can result in high CPU utilization or laggy graphics if not configured correctly. Use these top optimizations: Windows XP p2v conversion with KVM - blog.khax.net Top Performance Monitoring : A primary source for
The -c flag applies aggressive compression. Because Windows XP files are small and highly repetitive, this can shrink your 15GB virtual disk down to less than 2GB on your host machine, making it lightning-fast to copy, backup, or deploy.
