I wasn't trying to be condescending.  Your experience running mythtv
alongside Virtualbox is vastly different than using a bare metal hypervisor.

Because a type 2 hypervisor is essentially a program running on a bare
metal OS, the hypervisor itself shouldn't cause latency in the host OS (the
"base os").  Of course the hypervisor will impact the performance of the
host OS... but it shouldnt add any PCI latency.  The host OS is the only
one that can directly access PCI devices... so it should gets all the time
it needs.  I hope I explained that clearly?
