How is IO performance compared to Vbox? I've seen some old benchmarks indicating that xhyve IO is like 4x slower..

I'm seeing about 15% slower raw speed than the bare drive, dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp bs=1M count=512 is giving me between 68 and 250 mb/sec on a 2013 MBA with a nearly full disk, where in the terminal I'm getting between 78mb/s and 290mb/s.
ymmv, of course.

Can you point me to the resources you used? Thanks.

It's been a while, but this is the startup script I'm using:

The hard drive images are literally a qemu image for linux kvm that's been qemu-img converted to a raw format, then the kernel and initrd were extracted, and stored in the mac file system. This image was originally on my linux box for a while, before I needed to go mobile on the laptop with it.

the xhyve repo came with a small Linux setup
time (git clone github.com/mist64/xhyve.git; cd xhyve; make; ./xhyverun.sh) w/ "sudo halt" pasted into the resulting shell: 14.85s
I've had good experiences with it running linux guests, it took a bit of tweaking to get networking setup, but other than that it's been solid.
