Hi Vin=EDcius,

The first thing that springs to mind to check is have you got hardware
virtualisation enabled? I notice your launch command includes -no-kvm
as an argument - doesn't that disable kvm and result in a fallback to
qemu? Try running with kvm enabled and I suspect your performance will
be approximately 10x better.

Just a couple of thoughts,
