Some years ago I read some doco from VMWare about optimising performance and it recommended noop for their virtual boxes. I've extrapolated this to any kind of virtual box. If you think about it this makes perfect sense. Since the virtual host can't even guess about the underlying disk system it shouldn't try to optimise for it.
