I ran CentOS with VirtualBox on a Windows box a while back and noticed how slow it ran. Now on my new FreeBSD box, I installed CentOS and VirtualBox and it runs noticeably slower booting up and running desktop applications compared to Linux Mint, also on VirtualBox (and running at the same time). Not only does it take a long time to boot up, the desktop, when I run it, is slow to open windows and applications.
Is there something the CentOS installation needs?
