Until I get around to upgrading it, this guest is running
OpenBSD 6.0 (GENERIC.MP) #1160: Sat Jul 16 02:47:56 MDT 2016

The dmesg I posted is old. I copied it out of my mail archives.
This system was first installed with some snapshot between 5.2
and 5.3 releases, I believe.
It looks like the biggest difference is a single 3.5" disk vs hardware
RAID with two 2.5" disks (and the RAID still being built?).
When two or more guests perform heavy I/O, my system gets very slow.
I hope that SSDs will help here since they cope better with random access.
Perhaps you should investigate that option, too.

Yes.
