Mac Virtualization: Performance testing Parallels, Fusion and VirtualBox

• MartinMond 17y ago
  Parallels is up to twice as fast as Fusion? I did not expect that.

    Yeah, there's s surprise. It's odd how VMWare has a very good VMWare workstation for Windows, and a firaly medicore Fusion for Mac. Makes me sad I paid for Fusion couple of years back.

      to be fair, couple years ago Fusion constantly got better reviews (I have Fusion as well, it looks like Parallels gives discount for Fusion users, I'm going to try it out)

        Heh, I didn't think of that! For $50 cross-grade price I might just go for it too. http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/popup/vmwarecustomers/ http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/popup/vmwarecustom...

        Interesting. I might give Parallels a try, again. I switched to Fusion after Parallels ate my windows partition during a Service Pack upgrade. Installing Fusion helped recover that partition so I wasn't too enchanted with Parallels after that.

  It would be nice to see somebody run similar benchmarks for non-Windows operating systems.
