KVM or Xen HVM are fully virtualized except for two drivers. This is not the same thing as paravirtualized. People seem to think the only thing a computer does is access the disk and network device. With a PV everything is running native and the only overhead is from the Hypervisor. In a most cases using the VT bits in the CPU makes the virtualization slower in all aspects. This may not be the case in the future. The developers of VirtualBox have documented this. Grant McWilliams Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."
