Does it work on qemu-kvm? This is just pretty subjective: I've run other OS's on virtualbox (paravirtualization enabled), and qemu-kvm (paravirtualization enabled), and I found qemu faster for them, so not sure if you'll notice gain by migrating... The only thing I noticed a pain under qemu was savevm/loadvm, meaning that I prefer to shut-down on qemu, but other than that I felt better with quemu... It might be with no paravirtualization then virtualbox really boosts things up compared to quemu, I don't know...
