I am and this is awesome! Thanks for sharing it. And thanks for using the latest version of QEMU and the microvm machine type, that did make the comparison much fairer already.

The Intel people moved on to work on Cloud-Hypervisor and a lot of the stuff done on NEMU was reworked (leading e.g. to the microvm machine type) and added to QEMU (such as disabling TCG on ARM). Before that however we collaborated to complete the configuration mechanism for disabling unwanted devices. [1] And we are still collaborating on rust-vmm, which is taking inspiration from QEMU for the more advanced parts of the design!
