Virtualbox 3.1.2
Hardware:
Intel Q6600
Intel Server Board
8GB DDR2-667 ECC
2x 320GB 7200rpm disks
I ran bonnie++ on the rpool OS mirror (I created ZFS Filesystem for /export/home/vbox) and I get 130MB+ Writes and Reads. The underlying hardware is really fast.
However, inside the single Windows 7 64bit guest has REALLY slow IO.
VT-x is enabled
2 CPU
2048 Memory
3.1.2 Guest Additions is installed
When I copy a file over the network I get 1MB/s
When I extract a zip file inside it I get 2MB
Everything inside it feels slow, even opening Explorer etc.
Code: Select all
