<p dir="ltr">I used Virtualbox with a Windows 7 VM on an Ubuntu host for about a year, and the Windows always dragged. Then I swapped them and the performance improved greatly. I'm not sure what was happening, but I got the best performance out of the Windows guest by assigning it only one CPU. <br>
There have been updates to Virtualbox since then, do it may be better now. </p>
