Hi, I also experienced this difference: virtualized OPNsense consumes about 6w, bare metal OPN consumes about 8w.
The hardware system to virtualize OPNsense or use it bare metal was the same fanless mini pc (i5-5200u, 8GB ram).
The greatest efficiency I currently found using powerD "Minimum", the frequency is almost always "fixed" at 500mhz and the temperatures at 39°C (vs 44°C with other settings, 55°C under load); however, this system decreases the system performance by halving the speeds (from 1000Mbps symmetric to about 500Mbps symmetric).
This CPU is very power efficient as it has Configurable TDP-down Base Frequency 600 MHz and Configurable TDP-down 7.5 W (from intel spec).
