[Resolved] Virtualbox slow on Windows 10 Host
Posted: 9. Dec 2018, 10:04
Hello,
for a time I've been having a problem with Virtualbox running slow on Windows 10 host. I am wondering am I the only who expieriences this kind of problem.
First a word about my host and guest config:
Host hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K, 4-cores
Memory: 16GB DDR3 1866MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI
Hard Drive: Samsung Evo 840 500GB
GPU: MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 970
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
Guest machine configuration:
CPU: 2 cores (PAE/NX enabled, VT-x/AMD-v enabled, Nested paging enabled, paravirtualization interface: Default)
Memory: 8GB
Screen: 128MB
Chipset: PIIX3
Controller 1: IDE of ICH6 type
Controller 2: SATA of AHCI type (using host buffering with SSD disk option checked)
Operating System: Gentoo 17, Kernel: 4.14
Network Controller: Intel Ethernet Connection I217-V, Bridged
Guest additions: installed
Virtual machine is run installed from the SSD drive.
Primary purpose: Minecraft Server
When I'm launching a Minecraft server, it takes over 88-100 seconds to start it. Things run so slow then when a client connects to the server it takes not only long to initialize a session but usually ends in being disconnected because of a timeout built-in to the server.
For example, the same virtual machine running under VMware Workstation Player 14,15 takes around 12-20 seconds (worst case measured 29 seconds) to start and has no problems accepting connections within short enough amount of time to avoid a server side disconnect.
I have also tested one more scenario.
When the Host operating system is changed to Debian 9.6.0 on the same hardware, everything works fast on VirtualBox, if not even faster then on VMware Workstation Player.
Does anyone have an idea why hosting this virtual machine (or any that I've tested) on Windows 10 is slow?
What additional information can I provide?
