You can try to use unmodified_drivers (ie Paravirtual drivers) on your guest kernel. That will give much better performance compared to an emulated NIC.

no, it's totally detached from the card.

what the DomU sees and the hypervisor manages goes only to the Dom0.
there usually it's routed/NAT'ed/bridged to some physical card, but
that's not DomU's business.

usually virtual machines are slower than bare metal. how much slower
depends on lots of factors. (maybe 5% slower, maybe 400% or more)
