Virtualbox very very slow


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hello,
I was used to vmware, and decided to install virtualbox. Well it is
tremendously slow, for starting even, and for
displaying any windows. It is like the CPU is 200pct running in parallel.
Well I do not know what can be wrong with virtualbox, but it is of total no use.

If you would like more information about the system, please do not hesitate. I
would rather that it works virtualbox, but
ok nope

Regards

vbox uses emulated bios but you choose how much ram to give...it uses the same speed cpu.

so how much ram have you got in total on the host pls?
how much did you give to virtual machine?
