Testing TahrPUP running in a KVM capable PC, shows a good speed increase in TahrPUP. But, there is a nagging issue that I wonder if you would consider resolving.
Video driver
The OOTB video card of a KVM virtual guest PC has a Cirrus card emulated. All other PUPs tested have a Cirrus module/driver and when the guests boot,they all find the Cirrus card and use it.
But, in TahrPUP,this is not occurring and there is no way to get X desktop via console of TahrPUP.
Fortunately, QEMU offers an option (-vga std) to set the VM guest PC as VESA video. Below is screenshots of QEMU setup for VESA and using FirstRUN to change the video map to match my 4X3 monitor from the TahrPUP default for a 16X10 origin.
Hope this is helpful

i've uploaded a new 3.14.11 kernel which hopefully has the force PAE patch applied, and the cirrus qemu module inbuilt https://www.dropbox.com/s/3x121v1gt8ib9 ... .11.tar.gz
