Hi, I'm brand new to virtualbox, so pardon me in case I made stupid mistakes. I created a FreeBSD guest out of the regular virtualbox port (3.2.12) on FreeBSD 8.2, then timed the copying of a 320MB binary file to another file, which took 4 seconds, ie, 80MB/s. On an identical hardware I created a CentOS guest out of KVM running on CentOS, and the same operation only takes 1 second. On both hosts, the copy takes 1 second. That is, virtualbox slowed the copying to 1/4 speed on my guest FreeBSD.
Both hosts are Dell R710, with 6 x 600GB 15K SAS drives forming a RAID6 with R700 controller with 512MB cache. I'm testing in preparation of production servers, so would prefer regular ports, ie, 4.0.6 tar ball is out of question for now. _______________________________________________ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
