Please check and report the RAM usage and if it is swapping. Box 1.) Running Gentoo, VirtualBox running Windows7-as a server it is hosting OpenDental mysql database Box 2.) Running Gentoo, VirtualBox running Windows7 or 10 running OpenDental and pull/write information to window-7-server on Box-1 After upgrading to VirtualBox-7.0.6 (both boxes) Box-1 running server was fast and responsive But Box-2 trying to pull/write information to Box-2 was almost non-responsive, every click of a mouse or any keystroke it took VirtualBox 30sec to 50sec to respond. Unusable. I downgraded Box-1 VirtualBox to 6.1.42-r1 and it is not fast but manageable. VirtualBox-7.0.6 is not usable for application running over network. No, I did not notice any memory swap How did you configure the networking? Does anything else run slow in this scenario, like for example are Windows shares visible and slow too? (In reply to Viorel Munteanu from comment #4) > How did you configure the networking? Does anything else run slow in this > scenario, like for example are Windows shares visible and slow too? I setup, similar scenario at home, with VirtualBox 7.0.6 Box 1.) Running Windows 7 - server Box 2.) Running Windows 7 - client, connecting to MySQL on Box-1 When I start program on Box-2 and connect to server on Box-1 it took me 90sec. to connect. On VirtualBox 6.1.42 it is almost instant. After connecting, trying to do any operation with mouse click it take about 10sec. for server to respond. Normally it should be instant. The network setting in VirtualBox are default. Did not change anything. Try to browse files on Box-1 server, from Box-2 client is fast and responsive. So it seems to me VirtualBox 7.0.6 is unusable in this scenario. Let's try to figure out if this is a networking issue, a high load on the server issue or simply something that triggers a bug. Things to try: - changing the networking options from NAT to Bridged - checking if the server becomes unresponsive (both the Windows server and the host while the server is bogged down) - checking if the virtual machine has enough memory - i.e., Windows may exhaust how much memory has been allocated to it and swap in a swapfile on C: - while waiting for the server to respond, try to launch task manager in Windows 7 on Box 1 and see what it shows.

Same happens when the program starts whenever I click on anything it task manager is showing not responding and after about 10sec. it connects. It is happening with every click of a mouse on Box-2 I've just seen this ticket https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21881 Can you check how many cores you have and how many of them are assigned to VirtualBox? Try to assign half minus one, see if the situation improves. VirtualBox-7.0.10 has the same problem as 7.0.6 Then networking is very slow almost unresponsive. Why do they stabilize something that doesn't work! |
I run emerged Virtualbox 7.0.6 and its runs Windows 7-server, it is OK but trying to connect from another Virtualbox running Windows box on the network to Windows-7-server running on Virtualbox 7.0.6 is almost unusable. When I click on a program that request informaton/data from Virtualbox 7.0.6 Windows 7-server I had to wait 30 to 50sec. before the program responds. I downgraded server to Virtualbox-6.1.42 and it is not fast bat manageable.
