How to setup VBox and Run Linux on your Windows System

There's overhead just to run the VM. Try backing off 1 core either in Windows or VM and see how it runs.

Yep!

I'm already leaving 2 threads for GPU... I should leave 2 more for VM? How am I supposed to keep up with all the badge whores?!?

How are you allocating threads to the BoincClient running under windows? <ncpus> or % of processors in prefs?
How many cores/threads is the VM defined with and how is BoincClient in the VM allocating threads?

In windows I use app_config with project max concurrent, along with an app_config to give GPU a thread. On VM I set the machine to however many threads of CPU I want it to use. So for the above example, I'm running WCG limited to 16 concurrent on Windows, with a 6 thread VM running WCG (BETA). Windows is also running SETI on GPU with 1 thread dedicated.
