This page compares various virtual machines:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines

Unfortunately it appears very few support FreeBSD as a host OS.

I would greatly appreciate advice, anecdotes, or cautionary tales of any
VMs that:

- - run on FreeBSD (amd64 or x86) as a host OS

- - run *nix guest OSs at or near native speed

"You really need <some other OS> as the host OS" is a perfectly valid
response too.

many thanks
