There are many many bits of suboptimal code, things that
could be improved and outright bugs in QEMU. Fixing any
of them takes time, which is why as an open source project
we encourage people to contribute the fixes they personally
run into and find they need. (This is pretty much what anybody
who is an active committer is already doing.)
