Are you using virtual IDE or SCSI for your virtual hard disks? The disk
IO performance (and IO stack) is more efficient with SCSI.

I would add a virtual SCSI adapter and a blank VHD on a LUN and let
Windows discover this virtual SCSI adapter via Plug-n-Play. Once the
SCSI driver is enabled in the image, it becomes bootable as a virtual
SCSI disk.

Move your VHDs from the virtual IDE channel to the virtual SCSI adapter
on SCSI0:0 and retry your tests.
