I'm guessing that the default cache mode for qemu in that release is "none". You may want to switch it to "writeback", which is what bhyve does by default (it can be changed with AHCI, see bhyve(8)). Lots of info on the web about Qemu block i/o cache modes e.g. http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fliaat%2Fliaatbpkvmguestcache.htm later, Peter.
