Any other ideas what could be the bottleneck then?

Probably scheduling latency.

After switching to the rtl8139 network emulation (which now work
well), the CPU use of both qemu-dm and my VT guests dramatically
decreased and performance is a lot better now.

I'll let you know what the next bottleneck is once I run into
it :)
