They run well enough for me. Don't have any benchmarks as I am not
using any other full virt solutions, but don't see much difference
between VMs and bare metal. On the other hand I try not to use windows
servers for anything serious so they're hardly ever stressed.

No and I don't think it's the hypervisor's job to do that. Even in
ESXi I don't think it's the "hypervisor" itself that does that. You
could try however to mess with Openvswitch if you insist on such
features, at least until someone decides to package all this in one
fancy solution (rhev?).
