BHyVe - ESXi comparison

[Andrea Brancatelli]

What do you exactly mean with frontend? ESXi has no front end, that's the difference with ESX, it's just a bare hypervisor.

On the contrary I think that having to host a java application in the machine acting as an hypervisor is pretty crazy, especially considered java madness with memory, swap files and such...

I suspect that even though bhyve is slower then VMWare that VMWare's front end is the cause and not VMWare itself.... for example I suspect that bhyve with petitecloud on top would be much faster then vmware or qemu with openstack or cloudstack.
