Out of curiosity, why do you have a presumption that hyper-v would have better performance?

Out of curiosity, why do you have a presumption that hyper-v would have better performance?
- orf 8y agoThis may be completely wrong, but as I understand it when you enable hyper-v it sits above your Windows install, and runs your windows as a hyper-v VM. So, rather than running a userland vbox process that has OS overhead (especially around disk IO) it can run much closer to the metal.
- zamalek 8y agoIf I remember correctly, Hyper-V is not strictly a type 1 hypervisor ("runs your windows as a hyper-v VM") but comes close. The VMs still run pretty close to the metal, but your host OS is mostly free from hypervisor interference.
- jsjohnst 8y agoBecause it’s a well known fact that VirtualBox has been dodgy slow for years. Especially around I/O, it’s been the laggard.
- kls 8y agoVB has lagged in support for good hardware acceleration, it's been an issue for years.
