You mind quantifying slow? MB/Sec for example? Low end SAN solutions often function between 9-10 MB/s, iSCSI varies but typical is about 5MB/s unless you invest some significant capital for higher end disks and hardware initiators. NFS is all over the map, with switch, device, etc. factors coming into play. I have done some direct comparisions on Hyper-V and VMware ESX 3.5u4 and 4 on the same exact hardware, and Hyper-V is compariable, if slightly slower at the VM level given some difference in design of the Hypevsior drvier stack.

Very nice. I would like to hear more about technology implemented behind the Hyper-V, VMWare, Xen, …
By the way, I have slow performance on Clustered Share Volume in Hyper-V R2. Didn’t try VMWare ESX or vSphere yet but I guess it just works.

This is excellent stuff really! Common sense approach is worth putting your attention to!
