Comment on Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox vs Boot Camp - The Mac Observer

Comments

I really don't trust benchmarks running inside VMs. Toyed around with that for a bit & concluded that the results are entirely useless.

All of these benchmarks factor in time somehow (mb per _seconds_). Its like time slows down & speeds up at random in a VM. And heaven forbid you run some tests with Intel VT-x on & some off (In some cases I got VTx off = 100x faster - lol).
