Server 2016 performance

[ISL]

I am up to find out how server 2016 performs in VirtualBox. Planned Host ist probably Debian, although this is open yet, if there are better suitable host systems, I am not limited to that.
After googling a while I only found limited information how and how well Server 2016 is running, how stable it is and if it is advisable for productive usage.
Are there any performance charts, comparisons against physical machines or even other virtualization somewhere? Any information would be quite useful because I absolutely prefer Virtualbox over other solutions.

This is a question similar to "How well will my car perform?" without actually specifying the car model. I don't know what your host is, and what it can do. I can tell you that if I try to run Win2016 on my Pentium Core2 Duo, it won't run very well. Or in a Xeon E5462, if you don't understand your computer's (host) capabilities. You may be in for a surprise and I don't mean the good kind...

The simpler question is: why don't you try it? Unless someone has the same exact setup as yours, all numbers will be subjective.

Thank you
It is obvious that this highly depends on the host machines hardware, but that was not what I am asking here. Sorry if I was unclear about this. Perhaps I should have asked like: "Does it run noticeably or significantly slower than directly on the same underlying hardware if running it in virtualbox", or perhaps "how much drain is there to be expected?". If there would be some charts I can see and compare I'd knew at least to some degree how to scale a new host machine to compensate or if it's even feasible.
I know this is a sort of generic question, but its hard to plan such a thing if not having at least some idea what to expect.

Surely I can run a server in a testing environment here on an already existing machine, but that will only provide me with a limited amount of information too, since it is no real-life situation or usage and it won't be the same hardware.
Indeed I find it somewhat strange that I can't find any such information which allows to make at least a rough estimation.

Most probably because people that actually do use it, don't share. The majority of people doesn't share, we're too selfish as a species...

Well, if you do, could you share your performance stats with the rest of us?
