[arch-general] Virtualbox Linux guest performance very slow
Hi :) the host is an Arch Linux 64bit install. I run Windows XP 32bit as guest, getting a very good, fast performance. I installed Fedora 17 64bit as guest and the performance is slow, the mouse cursor is moving in slow motion. Is there anything I can do to get a better performance? Regards, Ralf PS: I also will install a backup of my Arch Linux as guest and then switch to systemd for this guest ;) ;) ;) ;) ;). At the moment I got caught in playing with LVM for the Fedora install, since I never used it before, but systemd will be the next experiment.

Install the guest additions. If you had an Arch guest you could simply install them using pacman.

I have to laugh about myself. I guess I already installed guest additions to the host's Arch Linux :D. Some days ago the weather in Germany was unbearable and at that time I installed it. Thank you and I apologize that I didn't think about the guest additions myself. I guess I should install them for the guest ;). :D Ralf
