Is it possible to share a folder from the hosts filesystem with the guest KVM? If so, how is performance compared to samba/nfs?

No.
Desktop Virtualization products that have this feature use some kind of network protocol and make is as transparent as possible for the user with the installed guest tools and such.

So you are back to Samba/NFS :)
 
hi,

unfortunately no.

however if you can use containers, bind mounts allow you to do this
