I don’t think you read too much into differences of as little as 10ticks - the error in time measurement for a single run would be too high.
It’s seems to make sense that vms would do the same task slower than the machine that they run on so I don’t think that’s a very interesting comparison. Your windows workstation is an i3 - I suspect it only has two cores - SSDs whilst fast can only do one thing at a time. When you are running the database and client on the same machine I suspect there’s more contention there then when client and server are separate machines... The code on the LC side is the same (engine and client drivers) so it’s almost certainly hardware / OS causing the difference.
