Just tried it out. I'm not taking any metrics on how often the fast path is followed (eg how often Windows provides a buffer aligned to a 512 byte boundry), but some clock watching shows that an operation that takes 16-19 seconds using the Qemu drivers takes 6-9 seconds using my PV drivers. The only issue so far is that while the PV drivers are doing their thing, Windows appears to get a bit starved for resources (appears to hang on occasion etc)... could be another bug causing that of course...
