Thanks a lot for that question!
I just had the same problem: While setting up a new debian domU I was
wondering why the network was so slow just on that vm. I noticed that
there was a burst of traffic every now and then. First I thought - like
Roberto - it was a scheduling problem. But your comment caused me to
check the MAC address of that machine and it was in fact the same like
on another vm *silly me*.
