And I think part of the reason may be the emulation. Especially for the
block device, when you do I/O, the CPU usage is persistently 100%.

Right now,  I tried again, with just 1 VM i.e. Hurd. And I got a better
performance. Close to 700 KiB/Sec. Which will degrade as an when
contention increases either on the Host or the Guest.
