Public bug reported:

Using latest qemu-kvm (1.2.0), time drift (clock slow in guest) in Windows 7 64 bits guest when HPET is enabled (default).
Disabling HPET (-no-hpet) solves the time drift.

UsePlatformClock enable/disable doesn't make a difference in the guest.
bcdedit /set useplatformclock true

Using driftfix slew doesn't make a difference too.

Using 1 CPU doesn't make a difference.
Only workaround is disabling hpet (-no-hpet)
