All work fine except 2 windows 2008 not R2 version.

These machines consume a huge quantity of CPU normaly less then 10% and now more then 60%.
These machines has also a huge time drift nearly 1 min real time = 4 mins on vm time.

For example this on configuration file

cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/203.conf
agent: 1
balloon: 0
bootdisk: scsi0
cores: 8
ide2: rackstation_cluster:iso/virtio-win-0.1.171.iso,media=cdrom,size=363020K
keyboard: fr-be
machine: q35
memory: 10240
name: STESUD06
net1: e1000=96:7B:C2:21:CA:18,bridge=vmbr0
numa: 1
ostype: w2k8
scsi0: vm_storage:vm-203-disk-0,aio=threads,cache=writeback,size=90G
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
sockets: 1

I try to had args : -no-hpet in this files and nothing change

Is anyone has an idea where the problem come from ?

I think that I find something in the qemu 4.0 documentation? I modify a clone VM conf file like this

args: -rtc base=localtime,clock=vm,driftfix=none

And it seem to work normaly.

I keep you informed of futher evolution during the week

After installing a new Win2008r2 VM on a Proxmox 6.0-4 server, the VM time was mad fast (6 seconds realtime == 60 seconds VM time!). Your instructions seem to have solve the problem.

For the record: the default values seem to be -rtc 'driftfix=slew,base=localtime'.
This seems to work too: args: -rtc base=localtime,driftfix=none.
