Please configure -smp options properly. Checking in a Windows 10 guest reveals that SMT is not enabled, and from what I understand, QEMU converts the topology from threads to cores internally on AMD CPUs. This appears to cause performance problems in the guest perhaps because programs are assuming that these threads are actual cores.
