@f23948virtualbox is indeed slow, and has very high latency. Try switching to VMware, it also has a free version as well.

Firstly, you're not wrong. VirtualBox is a slow, but you can make is usable for non-3D tasks by installing the Guest Additions pack for your VMs OS, increasing the graphics video memory to the max, adding enough memory to your VM, and of course, installing your VM on an SSD.

anything made by oracle is slow I would reccommend going for window hyper-v which is pretty good and you can import your virtual box linux mint vm. I personally use hyper-v and it is very smooth make sure you give it a fair amount of memeorey and cpu cores

Microsoft owns my soul.

 

Also, Dell is evil, but HP kinda nice.
