Please note, when it comes to performance aspects, you should set a reasonable 
high value for 'msize' on 9p client side:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#msize

I'm also working on performance optimizations for 9p BTW. There is plenty of 
headroom to put it mildly. For QEMU 5.2 I started by addressing readdir 
requests:
