Solaris 10 Guest operating slowly on Windows 10 host running 6.1.16 and other recent releases

[CJK]

Running VBManagers earlier than 6.0, my Solaris 10 guest system operated with reasonable speed, but we had some problems with shared folders and creating/transferring data files to shared folders on the Windows 10 host system. Now with 6.0.XX, the shared data folder problems seem to have been corrected, but the guest Solaris 10 system seems to run significantly slower than it did before. Not sure if it is network issue - we have tried a variety of machine configuration options to optimize the guest system (more memory, more processors, anything else we could think of.) Looking for ideas and suggestion, wondering if anyone else has seen this issue??

I would tend to agree, Solaris 10 performance just felt like it wasn't the same since Vbox 5.x

I think this could be due to a lot of security hardening by both Windows 10 and VBox developers over time. Meaning something we'd just have to live with. I also remember a phase where VBox networking went though a lot of problems and many bugfixes.

However I am now on Vbox 6.1.44, Guest Additions 6.1.0, and latest Win 10 host and can't really complain about the speed (laptop ageing and Solaris 10 now just used for testing).

I hope your experience has improved since too.
