With this level of information, I can't tell you anything. Funnily
enough
you're not mentioning:
- what you are running (exact version and parameters of your benchmark)
- what you are running it on (host configuration, parameters of the VM
itself and its vmm, as "virualized Raspi-4" doesn't mean much to me)
- which kernel versions
- how you are measuring this discrepancy
- the variability of the measurement
Things you could look at: using perf capture the various counters and
work out by yourself where the difference lies, look at the impact
of power management on the host, the impact of other kernel threads
running, the number of interrupts...
HTH,
