> What hardware are you running this on? You might be better off running multiple VMs bound to a single core as opposed to a single VM tied to many cores. Just a quad-core i7. I offload anything that requires major processing power to a cluster, but sometimes I just want to test things locally first and that involves running heavily-parallelised software on Linux. I just don't even know what order of magnitudes to expect with a VM like this; running at 0.8x speed would be fine, running at 0.1x wouldn't. I'll just have to benchmark it myself when I get the chance.
