So approximately 351% overhead

3.10e-06 seconds was the average time for performing the write with an entry and
          exit from deprvileged mode.

So approximately 178% overhead.

How does this compare to the overhead of passing the I/O through to qemu?

So, passing this portio op through to QEMU takes roughly 20e-6 seconds. However, I don't know if the emulator would have gone and prodded a physical port as port of that which could skew the result. I'll look into this and get back if I find anything to clarify this.
