Maybe a little slower than from a "normal" harddrive - but certainly
faster than in VirtualBox! I'm using VirtualBox almost daily for
testing different web browsers (mainly with Windows in them) and it is
a lot slower than running the same systems without the virtual machine.
My host system is Linux, though, as is my system of choice at home for
more than 11 years now.
