My guest machine ran very sloooooow on both Win XP and OS X hosts. I never bothered to turn on VT-x setting since the documentation states:
Normally, you should leave this setting disabled as VirtualBox employs sophisticated software techniques which normally yield superior performance compared to hardware virtualization.
But, on a suggestion from my boss, I tried it anyway. It made a HUGH difference on Win XP. My Solaris 10 guest machine runs very fast and I'm happy with the results.
So, I tried the same guest machine on my Mac Pro (8-core, 4 GB RAM). I don't see much help on OS X. The same guest machine seems to run slow than on my Win XP (toshiba tecra 2-core 2.33 Ghz, 3 GB RAM).
How can I improve the performance on my OS X host? Does VT-x setting work for the Mac?
VT-x: does it work on OS X? It does on Win XP!
