Thanks to your words of encouragement I have been successfully running both 
venti and fossil natively on macOS since yesterday, serving a Plan 9 terminal 
that runs via QEMU. I keep this MacBook running 24/7, and this morning I found 
fossil in a busy loop eating all CPU time according to htop. The busy loop 
never happened when the file server was a Plan 9 virtual machine. Other than 
this one issue, fossil starts a lot faster as a macOS binary than as a VM and 
also the Plan 9 terminal boots faster. This probably has to do with the 
sluggish user mode networking in qemu. I spent a couple of days trying to get 
tap+bridge working on a Mac to speed up virtual machine networking, but 
eventually gave up when I couldn’t find anyone who has successfully configured 
this on a Mac.
