VirtualBox is absolutely not slow. At least not on Solaris nor on
windows7 boxes. The VB support from FreeBSD is not that good imho. It is
a lot easier to get it going under linux, windows or solaris. I know,
fbsd packages do not exist. I wonder why...

This is very true, I agree. I've set up a ZFS root system with four
disks lately to try out before doing so on rela hardware and it worked
very very well.
