Do you have the vbox network kernel drivers loaded and are you using the bridged adapter? Those give great performance for me.

My "pretty" fast FreeBSD server (host) runs Virtualbox guests (Linux/CentOS) very slowly. Much slower than I anticipated.

I have a PXE boot system where I can boot and install via kickstart a CentOS system in just about 4 min on a Windows machine with VirtualBox. On my FreeBSD host it takes about 10-15min.
