I really don't care much for 3D. I do care for 2D and the current state of things is not bad, but it's not perfect. Sorry for the partial off-topic, but:Technologov wrote:2D performance of VirtualBox is EXCELLENT. Nearly as fast as native. No need to improve.
- Xv (for playing movies) is not supported (on the bright side sound support is very good).
- Moving a window appears to be fast but it's consuming 100% of the host's CPU. And most of guest's CPU too. In "native mode" the same movie uses 1% CPU...
The X11PutImage are painfully slow... My sugestion is to a) remake the way "VirtualBox Host" updates it's window (maybe using a xv port: virtually no CPU usage on the host!), and b) to enable xv support in the guest's video drivers. By that order
This (point a) ) would make applications that update the screen very fast -- not just movies, but graphical apps and Adobe Flash and 2D desktop effects and so on -- twice as fast, and (point b) ) make possible to play movies inside VB.
Is this in the TODO list?
