I assume that many of us here in the FreeBSD user community would love
to have improvements regarding speed of an already GREAT
virtualization platform in VirtualBox; Would it be possible to
quantify this improvement?

Also, I assume that patch can be applied to the current port, and
rebuilt as usual to gain these improvements, correct?

Thank you for submitting this!
