It could be a problem with developing specifically with scala, right now I'm running on a linux VM with only 6gb of ram and no issues at all (I do have an SSD now but even before with a mechanical disk it wasn't slow) I also used it on windows 7 with 8gb of ram and no speed issues either, always developing java or android (ends up being java)
