I'll run a few benchmarks soon to see how performance differs. I'm running this on an early-2013 macbook and notice a big difference in performance and responsiveness.

There's also https://virt-manager.org/ as a GUI for QEMU. Brew forumular here https://github.com/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager. But they don't mention HVF support, so I'm not sure it'll work
