Sorry, maybe that wasn't clear.

HTTP/S and HTTP downloads on the clients (such as "apt-get update") would get slower and slower until I rebooted the Ubuntu guest VM's.

Per my other posting a couple of minutes ago, moving KVM from a CentOS 7.9 host (and the ancient version of KVM, Qemu, and libvirt that comes with that distro) to RHEL 9.1 resolved a lot of problems.

I'm running 5.15 kernel which is not stellar, but it's good enough.
