Disagree. Virtualization is here to stay and usually only gives you a less than 5% hit on performance, especially with *BSD. I have several production servers running for over a year now on VMs with no trouble, and quite frankly, I can't tell the difference. Sure, you have to have enough resources to run them, but the OP sounds like he should be fine with what he has. I really don't think it's the VM. Of course, YMMV.
