I see terrible I/O performance with NetBSD running as a VM on a VirtualBox, just reading/writing regular files is quite slow compared to Linux VMs on the same hardware. I've never been able to figure out the reasons for it, maybe Linux has better integration with VirtualBox and better optimisations.
