performance difference between bare-metal and virtualization (proxmox)

hi guys
anyone know of any insights to how much performance hit one should expect when going virtualization?
i have a bare-metal server which is performing well for a site that gets over 10mil+ requests per day, hovering at avg load of 30-40, with almost zero io wait.
but i want the flexibility of virtualization and was thinking i should switch over to it but don't want to risk any un-foreseen problems.
anyone?
