I've just finished the BVM install and configuration.
Native Win 11 on the Pi5 is much faster, the network throughput is much lower on BVM, a simple speedtest on my broadband connection is less than 30% of the native installation.
On the plus side, the screen resolution is superb, scaling perfectly as the BVM window is sized, but it's a bit more laggy than Native Win 11, which is faster tha PiOS. But I'm running PiOS in one UHD screen and Win 11 in the other, which is really cool.
I'll definitely keep the BVM installation as a test, but the Native Win 11 is going to be the main environment on the Pi5 now.
