When working on the early boot sequence/stages, I doubt that performance
really matters.  And if most operating systems can run just fin on a VM,
it means that the VM gives it adequate CPY time slots.

Also, remember that VMS ran on the All Mighty Microvax II, where
performance wasn't measure in instructions per second, but seconds per
instruction :-)  Pretty sure a VM can offer better performance overall
than an MV II.
