Operational speed, not network speed. The Lubuntu team provided Firefox as a Debian package in the image and once everything was said and done (and networking was running), it would take 30-seconds to 1 minute for Firefox to appear, once launched. I didn't test network speeds, but I can say that the YouTube home page was extremely slow to load in.

When I had G Boxes on F33, Firefox launched in a matter of seconds in a box. This was on the exact same hardware.

How are you measuring speeds.


Both virt-manager and gnome boxes use lib-virt. Networking might be affecting your speeds. If i recall, gnome boxes does not give you any choices.

    And it (take your pick):

      * is slow as molasses
      * runs at a snail's pace


    Not even worth using. Gnome Boxes on Fedora 33 ran far better and
    faster
    than Virt Manager does on Debian.
