you can compile the guest kernel for i386, and i have some faint memories 
about turning off runtime optimisations; but i wouldn't be surprised if there 
are some extra 'tunings' that happen at boottime when it detects 
an 'advanced' CPU.

also, several libraries select optimised code at application launcthime, (most 
media codecs, for instance)
