As previously demonstrated by me and others, Linux usually has significantly better file system performance in the non-virtualized case, so the difference could be simply increased by the virtualization.
In my limited experience with VMWare linux seems to have near bare metal disk performance. FreeBSD seems to incur a significant performance penalty. For instance on my laptop, running OSX and VMWare Fusion, FreeBSd virtual machines can't saturate 100TX off the disk, raw dd manages about 7 Megs/sec, which is in line with what I get shovelling big files around. Disk is a 7200 RPM SATA2.
