I have a Macbook Pro, mid 2015, Intel I7 2.2GHz 16GB RAM, Solid State Hard Drive. I have installed Virtual Box running Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2019.
It runs fine, but too slow.
the settings on Virtual box for the VM are:
- 12 GB RAM
- 4 CPU Cores
- Execution Cap 100%
- Enable PAE/NX enabled
- Video Memory 256MB (max)
- Graphics Controller: VBoxSVGA
- 3D and 2D acceleration enabled
- Paravirtualization Interface: Default
- Hardware Virtualization: Enable Nested Paging
I was wondering if i can tweak the settings a bit more, in order to be able for it to run faster... maybe on the Paravirtualization Interface, i have no idea what i can select.
2Have you installed the guest additions? Do you need 12GB of RAM and 4 cores? Try reducing to 8GB and 2 cores, over allocating host resources can reduce performance. – essjae – 2019-08-26T20:22:53.853
i do have the guest additions, installed on safe mode to allow some 3d feature also. I'll try reducing the resources as you suggest. thanks – André Alçada Padez – 2019-08-27T14:06:17.650
Reduce RAM to 3 GB, CPU times threads to 2, enlarge Video Memory, Graphics Controller VBoxSVGA, turn on 2D and 3D acceleration, reinstall guest additions, and don't enlarge too much the Windows screen. – harrymc – 2019-08-27T19:43:47.667
