I'm using quickstart 0.8 for Drupal 6 under virtualbox 3.2.12 on a Vista box. It's a great solution, but I seem to have real speed issues, which I think may be mysql related. I even got myself a 80Gb SSD, which did help, but Drupal remains painfully slow. Everything else seems quick enough though.
I've been suffering for about 6 months now, but it would be so good to have quick responses during development. Any ideas where I should start looking?
I don't think I've changed anything from the 0.8 install except to set up my domains.
/etc/hosts as follow and most of my development is on http://dev2/
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 quickstart-desktop

::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
