It really helps to have a beefy machine with plenty of RAM and Cores.
You can also use libvirt with Bhyve and use deskutils/virt-manager for GUI administration.
This way uses a different method than the handbook. You must configure everything in XML files to get libvirt running bhyve.
I've found VirtualBox to be painfully slow with Windows guests. (Haven't tried any of the others though). This has been on two fairly powerful machines and giving the Windows guest 2 processors and 8 GB of RAM. Just my experience. I imagine bhyve works best as it's builtin. It could be better documented, but that will come with time. (For example, the handbook says nothing about a Windows guest, though the wiki now has pages on it. https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows
