[PLUG] VirtualBox questions


Running VBox OSE on 32-bit Linux on an AMD-64.

Just installed Win7-64-bit guest.  VBox did not complain.  Running without 
error. I gave it 1.6 GB (half the host total) RAM.

It is painfully slow as compared to [32-bit] XP with 512 RAM on the same Linux 
host.

I don't have a frame of reference for Win7, and am just starting with VBox.

Is Win7 just that much slower, or is it some 64-bit on 32-bit host translation 
layer problem?
