Recently I test all popular virtual machines on Mac and Linux. There are 2 groups.
Hardware:
1. Macbook pro 2014 mid. CPU: i7 4770HQ, GPU: Intel Iris 5200, no independence graphic chip, 16GB memory.
2. My old PC. CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, GPU: AMD HD4850, 2GB memory.
VM Version:
VirtualBox 5.0.10; Parallels Desktop 11.1.1; VMware Fusion 8.1 / workstation 12.1; QEMU 2.4.1
Host OS:
1. OS X 10.11
2. WES7 (Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1) and Arch Linux
Guest OS:
All are Windows XP SP3
Test Software:
PerformanceTest 8.0.1053
Test note:
I assigned half of total CPU thread to VM, because others (graphic disk) need CPU too.
PerformanceTest identify wrong size of memory in VMware.
Part of PassMark Rating are not accurate, because I didn't test 3D graphic performance, due to not support well.
I didn't test on Windows, because my old PC only have 2GB memory which don't have enough space to run 64 bit Windows.
Here are the results:
The whole tests are here:

Well I don't know this is a bug or design defect, but 2D graphic performance is importent. (like office or financial chart) It is barely to use on my old PC when enable I/O APIC. Please solve this problem.
