What kind of delays are you seeing?

I've found using fossil/venti under QEMU the setup time is insanely
long, but maybe that's just QEMU.  Post-setup performance is fine.

Also, if you'll eventually need more than a gig of disk space don't
want to allocate it all now, QEMU will handle compressed VMware disk
images just fine (which you can create with the QEMU tools).  Now,
formatting venti arenas in those disk images will negate that space
savings, so be warned.
