i would rather bet on linux addon kernel modules you have to install.
Are you talking about the guest additions? They're already installed
(on a VM that was running on an older Core 2 CPU). Performance sucks.
something must be wrong with linux interacting with virtualbox.
Won't help you as i never used linux on it, and actually at all for long
time.
In windows you have to install "guest additions" without this it is
plain terrible.
I haven't managed to get through an install on a 64-bit windows system
Windows 7 64-bit installs fine. FreeBSD 8.3, vbox 4.0.12
sandy bridge?
Yes, I'm sure that every guest OS I've tried on a 64 bit guest
sucks. I'm busy recreating 32-bit versions of the 64-bit guests where
I can.
maybe. i didn't do very detailed tests. and don't use 64-bit guest in
production.
problems with latency you describe
Could you send me the system settings (VT-X, PAE, etc.) you used for
this?
Everything that is possible enable in BIOS, FreeBSD/amd64 8.3-stable
(like month old or so), virtualbox 4.0.12
no fancy tricks, custom kernel but nothing special.
If you need more ask on priv.
