When I was using it, KVM had some small memory and CPU overhead, but it's a fair point.

That's definitely a problem. I'd very much like for SmartOS to branch out from just Intel, but they seem to be keeping development centered around the hardware they use for Joyent Cloud.
- maccam94 13y agoPerformance overhead definitely varies based on the workload: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1308296-SO-UBUNTUKVM59 http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1308296-SO-UBUNTUKVM59 (on the AIO test something was definitely wonky, maybe fsyncs weren't being obeyed) That's with a Linux hypervisor though, so I wonder if SmartOS has any more impact on performance.
