This is expected. FUSE contains lots of complexity in the buffered write path related to preventing DoS caused by the userspace server. This added complexity, which causes the performance issue, could be disabled in virtio-fs, since the server lives on a different kernel than the filesystem. I'll do a patch.. Thanks, Miklos
