In Debian/Ubuntu "qemu-kvm" may be some other name.
I also wanted to mention that I have a Debian Testing VM (256MB RAM) configured as a gateway. It runs bind, dhcp, apache, iptables - typical services for a gateway in a small network. Elapsed time from starting the KVM to the VM's console login prompt is 14 secs! (with all it's functionality available to nodes behind it).
