This is what i've been experiencing. This is fine, from the linux host, the guest takes a lot of load in the begginning, but then it calms down, and the load only goes up once in a while. From inside the guest, though, the load looks like it's maxed out all the tim. This might be because of time issues, though.
As for the timezone issues, well, i have my timezon set up properly on the host, and in plan9 I did cp /adm/timezon/CET /adm/timezone/local.
