Worse. More like virtualbox detecting that the guest OS is OpenBSD and live-patching the running kernel. > Vmware player works a lot better than virtualbox.

Haven't tried myself but reportedly OpenBSD is meant to work pretty well in hyperv. I think I tried vmware player at one point and had absolutely dreadful i/o performance, no idea if that is still the case. Virtualbox, see above ;) No idea how well OpenBSD does in xen. > Remember before reporting any bugs to try them on real hardware with a > generic kernel first though.
