(I’m not using VMs as KVM doesn’t work on my laptop.) Have you tried specifying “virtio” drivers for the virtual disks? I don’t think they are the default and I’m hopeful that with virtio drivers I/O performance will be comparable. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
