Mac OS X Running on Windows Host is Extremely Slow

Post by Nward13 »

Hi there...

About an hour ago I finished my installation of Mac OS X Mountain Lion through the Oracle VM Virtual Box.

It runs HORRIBLY slow. It takes about 2-3 seconds for clicks to go through, and it makes it virtually impossible to do anything.

Now, before you go an criticize my software:

I'm running and intel i7 processor, quad core, with 2.40 ghz
12gbs of ram, which I dedicated 6gb to the virtual Mac OS X
I gave it over 100gb's of hard drive space
It is a brand new installation of Mac as said above

The windows OS runs absolutely fine while the mac sits there still trying to process commands I sent it 5 minutes before.

Something is OBVIOUSLY wrong, and it's extremely irritating that this would even happen. Please help.
