> If only such theoretical speed advantage were real

Last I checked, Qemu could show an arbitrary number of cores. I think OpenBSD 
current has issues on ARM with multi-core but if it didn't, I could run a 
non-BigLittle 8 core VM with huge amounts of RAM and SSDs. I think I could 
build a pretty cheap build machine to cover AMD64, PPC and ARM at the same time.

Plus there's the administrative and other advantages with VMs I've grown to 
love in our rack at the office.
