Your command was not working out of the box. So I had dig in my requests to first fix that.

Now the output of the slow VM is :

 type="kvm"
<os>
  <type arch="x86_64" machine="pc-q35-6.2">hvm</type>
  <loader readonly="yes" secure="yes" type="pflash">/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd</loader>
  <nvram template="/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd">/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/fedora37_VARS.fd</nvram>
  <boot dev="hd"/>
</os>
<features>
  <acpi/>
  <apic/>
  <vmport state="off"/>
  <smm state="on"/>
</features>

I think i do have to EFI partitions, this my causes the slowdonwn:

$ lsblk
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sr0     11:0    1 1024M  0 rom  
zram0  251:0    0  3.8G  0 disk [SWAP]

├─vda2 252:2    0    1G  0 part /boot
└─vda3 252:3    0 23.4G  0 part /home
                                /
