I don't see any real benchmarks, just people saying what felt faster and
whatnot.

http://www.linux-gamers.net/smartsection.item.56/virtualbox-vs-qemu.html has
numbers.  The bold numbers tell you who wins.  Looks like Qemu still wins on
most of them, but the ones where it loses, it loses *bad*.  If you don't
need graphics, Qemu might be best.  Virtualbox is the fastest on graphics,
though.  VMWare just plain sucks.  It won in one event, and that was
Download Speed.
