How do I get better performance in VirtualBox?

Solve VirtualBox performance problems with these top tips

1. 1 Get an SSD.
2. 2 Allocate more memory.
3. 3 Install Guest Additions in VirtualBox.
4. 3 Increase display memory.
5. 4 Use a better video card.
6. 5 Allocate more CPUs in VirtualBox.
7. 6 Change the power plan.

Do you know why Ubuntu runs slow in VirtualBox? The main reason is that the default graphics driver installed in VirtualBox doesn’t support 3D acceleration. To speed up Ubuntu in VirtualBox, you need to install guest additions which contains a more capable graphics driver that supports 3D acceleration.

Well, VirtualBox does have a disk activity indicator. It’s not that useful, but sustained disk flashing might be indicative of I/O bottlenecks (throughput isn’t as important as latency for an OS, so even if the MB/s isn’t that high, latency could still bite).

Your VirtualBox VMs should now be running smoothly and reliably. It doesn’t take much to achieve this bump in performance, as long as you work wisely and use care when creating or configuring your VMs.

With the VM powered down, you can do this in Settings | System for the VM by sliding the Processor (s) slider to the right to increase the CPUs ( Figure B ). Increasing the CPUs for a VM.

When trying to run videos and other graphics heavy stuff, if you see VirtualBox running slow, there is a possibility that you may be able to solve it by allocating more video memory to the virtual machine. This will improve the video playback on the applications that you run on the virtual machine.
