There's an obvious clock skew problem on Windows 7; in the Date & Time dialog, the clock jumps through seconds visibly too fast.
I also found a case where HPET bugs are causing a real problem: Terraria (dedicated server) seems to be relying on (something that relies on) HPET, and QEMU doesn't get it right. The result is a goofy and aggravating behavior I've nicknamed "Turbo Monsters of Doom" and it makes killing anything tougher than a normal zombie basically impossible.
Apparently this bug's still alive and kicking.
