=== Change the CPU type ===
Modern processors come with a wide variety of additional instruction sets (SSE, AES-NI, etc.) which vary from processor to processor, but can greatly improve the performance depending on the workload. Ganeti and QEMU default to a compatible subset of cpu features called qemu64, so that if the host processor is changed, or a live migration is performed, the guest will see its CPUfeatures unchanged. This is great for compatibility but comes at a performance cost.
