 It is highly recommended to use the virtio devices whenever you can, as they
-provide a big performance improvement. Using  the virtio generic disk controller
-versus an emulated IDE controller will double the sequential write throughput,
-as measured with `bonnie++(8)`. Using the virtio network interface can deliver
-up to three times the throughput of an emulated Intel E1000 network card, as
-measured with `iperf(1)`. footnote:[See this benchmark on the KVM wiki
