It definitely depends. If you use qcow2 files for your disks, they’re a copy-on-write format, which is slower than most file systems inherently. If the host system is also a copy-on-write file system, then it doubles your IO again.

If you’re using raw disks/partitions, there is minimal overhead that usually comes down to usually miniscule driver differences.
