Is VMware smoother than VirtualBox?
But on a low power machine, VirtualBox doesn't give the best virtualization experience. The performance deficit is most noticeable when you switch to VMware Workstation Player. Running the same guest operating system on the same hardware shows that the VMware Workstation Player is a smoother, slicker experience.
How much slower is VirtualBox?
Re: Generally, how much slower is virtualbox than real machine? Depends on use case / workload. If it is CPU intensive task, then u get 99% performance, if 3D graphics, only 5% performance of real hardware. For I/O (Disk/RAM/network) - about 50%.
