My VM is slow
I first built a VM using Oracle Virtual Box on my former desktop, a Window 7 box with an i7-930 CPU and 8 GB RAM. It ran very SLOOOOOOW.
Well I upgraded to a much hotter box, a Dell XPS8920 with an i7-7700K CPU at 4.2 GHz running Windows 10. That should produce better results, right? I created a Windows 7 VM. And it, too, runs slowly.
How do cloud providers offer servers running multiple VMs that perform well when I can't get this top-level desktop to run just one VM? Sure, their servers are hotter than my desktop, and their CPUs might have more than my lowly quad-core. But still ... I just want to run one VM.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something more that I need to know and do?
