Description

### Description

On my m2 MacBook Pro I have a node.js app running in one container which is communicating to kerberos service running in another container. As for the node.js app, it makes a few calls to the kerberos service on start-up. Those calls are very quick when running on qemu with sshfs, but terribly slow when running on vz with virtiofs (over 2 minutes to execute). Please, see the timestamps on the pictures attached.

On one hand, I experience some volume issues with sshfs, so I'd love to stick with the virtiofs. On the other hand, vz with virtiofs is terribly slow in my case and I have no idea how I could possibly debug the slowness issues on vz with virtiofs.

Could you guys please implement qemu with virtiofs option? I'd like to give it a try.
