Painfully slow...why?
Posted: 21. May 2019, 13:05
I have the following:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac17,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled
Memory: 16 GB
Boot ROM Version: 166.0.0.0.0
SMC Version (system): 2.34f2
Serial Number (system): xxxx
Hardware UUID: E7AFECF5-9DFC-5838-B7DC-D27F58130FEC
This is a very fast system, the VirtualBox I have installed:
Version 6.0.8 r130520 (Qt5.6.3)
The virtual machine is Ubuntu 14.04:
Type: Linux, Version Ubuntu (32-bit)
Shared Clipboard: Host to Guest
Drag'n'Drop: Bidirectional
Disk Encryption: Not enabled
Base Memory: 3072 MB
Boot Order: Optical, Hard Disk
Chipset: PIIX3
Pointing Device: PS/2 Mouse
Extended Features: Enable I/O APIC, Hardware Clock in UTC Time
Processor(s): 4
Execution Cap: 100%
Extended Features: Enable PAE/NX
Paravirtualization Interface: Default
Hardware Virtualization: Enable Nested Paging
Video Memory: 128 MB
Monitor Count: 1
Scale Factor: 275%
Graphics Controller: VBoxSVGA
Acceleration: Enable 3D Acceleration
Controller:IDE, VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
Controller: SATA, Ubuntu 14.04 ACS dev.vdi
Name: IDE, Type PIIX4, Use Host I/O Cache
Enable Audio, Host Audio Driver: Core Audio
Audio Controller: ICH AC97, Extended Features: Enable Audio Output
Enable Network Adapter, Bridged Adapter, en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort)
The Virtual machine is running painfully slow, its not very useable at all, mouse clicks and key strokes are not actioned for several sections after they occurred.
Why ? Is there anything that can be done to improve performance?
