Thanks for the update on this. I agree all along.
Indeed! The latest versions of VMware Player do perform way better.
I switched to Hyper-V so can't tell more about VirtualBox performance...

I agree that VMWare Player is easier to use. But Player was in my case slower, not faster, this was a while ago though. Guess I should redo some tests.

This depends on CPU and whatever runs...
