Kali Linux is running very slow!

Here is my zipped VBox.log...

Can anyone help me? i tried to change the settings but it didnt work out. :-/

00:00:03.555651 NumCPUs <integer> = 0x0000000000000004 (4)
00:00:04.322145 CPUM: Physical host cores: 4

You have assigned all your CPUs to the VM. The host is going to run low on resources, since VirtualBox cares about physical processors (cores), not logical ones (threads). See "CPU Cores versus threads" and "Why is it a bad idea to allocate as many VCPUs as there are physical CPUs?".

00:00:03.265338 File system of 'C:\Users\marko\VirtualBox VMs\Kali-Linux-2018.4-vbox-amd64
                \Kali-Linux-2018.4-vbox-amd64-disk001.vdi' is ntfs

Why the "disk001.vdi"? That doesn't look like the default name for the VDI. Did you create the VM yourself?

and it is indeed the original virtualbox kali image which i downloaded from the official kali site.

Nope.

Your log file shows that it takes around 17 seconds for the system to have booted enough for the guest additions to report their version. My Debian 9 installation on a macOS 10.14.2 host takes just over 20 seconds to get to the same point. Slow doesn't appear to mean "slow to boot" so you are going to have to define what "very slow" means.
