I actually used that VM image some time ago. My main problem was that qemu crashed often, but that could have been my fault. Compiling on QEMU is quite slow IIRC, but Brad would have to decide if an emulator solution or a real board is better for the auto tester. Do you have any experience with the cubieboard (1)? I think SATA would be quite nice cause SD-cards are a real bottleneck when compiling. But I never used one of those boards so I don't know how well they're working...
