Yeah I've yet to try that. I know I get a similar lack of performance with Bhyve (FreeBSD) using VirtIO, so it's not a given it's fast.

I have no idea how AWS run their VMs, was just saying a slow storage driver could give such results.

Oh, absolutely - not to contest that! There's a whole lot of academia on 'para-virtualized' and so on in this light.

That's interesting to hear about FreeBSD; basically all of my experience has been with Linux/Windows.
