It=E2=80=99s a bit limited. IMO, it is more a mutation of bhyve then a = direct port.

It is single process = model ( because of the OS X Hypervisor.framework ) - and thus there is = no support for bhyvectl, bhyveload and grub2-bhyve.=20 (more info here: https://github.com/mist64/xhyve )=20 Performance is substantially worse then bhyve on the equivalent hardware = under FreeBSD from my testing. I=E2=80=99ve found that VMware Fusion or = Parallels are consistently quicker across the board at the moment for = anything I=E2=80=99ve tried with Ubuntu/Centos.
