It's not isolated.. Recently I quickly needed some linux distro in a VM to test some things out and since I just found a premade VirtualBox image of the latest Ubuntu I tried that. Could hardly believe how slow it felt. I know a VM is not the real thing, but given that anything else I run in it flies it's at least an indication something is wrong.

I have found recently out that VmWare Player works better with Ubuntu 12.10 than VirtualBox. Difference is "you can work with it" and "I will suffer because I need it".
