They make use of the paravirtualized virtio framework which is orders of
magnitude faster than fully virtualized i/o.

If you need performance, you need paravirtualized i/o. With a kvm
solution, that means going through virtio. I think Xen has its own
solution to this and other than this, I know nothing about vmware and
virtualbox on this score. _______________________________________________
