If DPDK applications are running on both guest and host side, the performance should be almost same, because while transmitting data virt queues are accessed by virtio-net PMD and libvhost. In libvhost, the existing vhost implementation and a vhost-user implementation will shares or uses same code to access virt queues. So I guess the performance will be almost same.
