I'm running on AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-55 at 1.8GHz
on a laptop. I/O intensive stuff is slower, probably mostly because I'm
using the qcow2 format; using raw format files or a dedicated partition
is faster. Something similar might benefit your VirtualBox config if you
haven't looked at that aspect.

I think KVM is worth checking out again, it has had some improvements.
Conversely, it's probably time I checked out VirtualBox, I haven't
looked at it since just before Sun bought them out.

cheers,
Ross.
