The loss of hash power could possibly have been due to lack of space on the VM, though it did appear to have enough space, a low space warning was given when exiting. I increased the VM size to 30GB, up from 20GB. Have re-run mining of Steemit, and has maintained a consistent 35000ish/hps for over 2 hours.
Though is there a way to stop the mining and then restart it without just closing the Terminal window? As this always causes a replaying of the Blockchain when I restart it, which is a pretty slow process.
you can press ctrl-c to stop the miner. you can then just run ./steemd again to restart it. As for the space, i noticed 30GB is better for a VM arrangement. At 20GB I also run out of space

did you mean "./steemd"? ... "./steemit" isn't recognised, and to my knowledge there isn't anything named steemit.
./steemd doesn't work any better, as it just loads up and then replays the blockchain, percent by percent and lists the hard-forks, which takes 20mins+, and that was after using the Ctrl-C to shutdown mining cleanly

corrected it. Yup. It can take a little bit of time to replay the blockchain, but should start back up
