Robin, NFS is the best approach right now. In the next version of Vagrant, rsync synced folders will be available .This will allow Vagrant to use rsync to send folders to the guest, allowing the native guest filesystem to be used. You can see here that the native VM filesystem performance is very good: http://mitchellh.com/comparing-filesystem-performance-in-virtual-machines
