That question is way too general to answer and also depends a bit on what VM
approach (xen/kvm/vmware server, vmware esxi) you use. As a rule of thumb, I'd
expect to lose 10% in overall performance and much more than that from disk head
contention unless you plan the layout very carefully and spread over independent
drives. You can make some (perhaps more than that) back by overcommitting the
machines where the load is likely to be bursty and staggered and by having a lot
of RAM for better disk buffering.
