Slow how? Exactly *what* metric are you comparing? What workload? You
could just be comparing desktop environment or window manager
performance on emulated hardware, rather than anything of the distro
itself.
What's different other than the distribution? Are both VMs fully
paravirtualized (virtio-{blk,scsi,net,console,random,balloon}), bridged
networking, using a proper emulated graphics card, etc? Is there
anything else to optimize?
Not sure of VBox can even change the emulated graphics card type. I just
use QEMU with either qxl (because I might be using SPICE), else std or
vmware. See if there's something like that.
