Are you sure you are using the hardware virtualization feature?
In particular:

Is the feature present in your CPU? (/proc/cpuinfo)
Is it not disabled in the BIOS? (/var/log/messages)
Do you have the right module loaded? (lsmod)
Are you sure you should not run qemu-kvm instead of qemu?

Best regards.
