Virtualbox 6 on dual E5-Xeon 8 cores each - poor performance
Posted: 15. Oct 2021, 23:19
HI.
I use VB on and off for years. I started form first version out of curiosity and it evolved into a tool that is actually extremely useful for me to test stuff out. Until now i always used slower single processor "gamer" computers and VB always worked, hm, accordingly but i never expected anything if comes to performance.
Now thou i bought a dual Xeon workstation with huge RAM and i cant find any solution to very poor performance of most guests i install on it. I found some info to not declare more than 2 processors for guest because something... somewhere else i found another piece of advice.. and another. And nothing really works.
I did multitude of tests and nothing really works. No matter of what number of Processors i declare in settings for guest machine it really never works like supposed to.
So, where is can find a exact info or piece of documentation about correct configuration that my guest machine would run with for example 6 cores and utilize as much power from host machine as needed? I dont mind to give VB all power available except whats needed for OS (Windows 10 x64) - using VB i never do anything power hungry or run such processes.
Thanks
Frank
