Help test VirtualBox!
The VirtualBox port is progressing nicely. Currently it appears to work better on i386 than on AMD64 but this will probably be fixed soon. The developers have issued a call for testers so all interested users should go and help!

#3 Re: Help test VirtualBox!
uilt up a test LAB with it to make a showcase for Ganglia cluster monitoring.
Graphical presentation of RRD graphics lasted 1-2 minutes with Virtualbox.
VMware player required only 1-2 seconds.
I hope that the big performance difference will hopefully go away soon.

@Andreas: You should test if the problem is with VirtualBox or in VirtualBox+FreeBSD. If it's the latter, you should probably complain on freebsd-emulation@ mailing list.
