OSX: run Windows-Addendum on bootcamp in virtualbox

Virtualbox causes slow System Operation

By using and running tests on different occasions, generally, the cause of system slowness is mainly caused by memory shortage. You need to consider the matching of the memory configuration of the Virtual Machine and the physical memory of the machine. adjust the memory of the VM according to the running status in win7.ProgramTo free up as much memory as possible for OS X.

I have 4 GB of memory, OS X 10.8.3, And the VM memory is set to 1.23 GB. After running, the VM actually occupies 200 GB of OSX memory. In this way, the VM program itself occupies nearly MB, however, in my Windows programs, the virtual machine generally ensures a surplus of about 70% of memory usage.

The test result is that as long as I enable the win7 virtual machine when the free memory is kept at around GB, the running of OS X will not be significantly affected, and the running of win7 will be smoother, this does not cause OS X to perform data read/write between memory and virtual memory to free up memory space.

It is a method to run the VM immediately after login and occupy the memory all at once. if you need to enable it halfway, and the free memory is not enough, there is still a lot of inactive memory, it is also a way to use the purge command to clear the memory.

Start Windows 7 Virtual MachineCode

In OS X, create the virtualbox Virtual Machine of win 7.Each timeBefore running,
BothYou need to execute severalCommandThese steps can be completed using a startup code. You can simply double-click it to complete the startup steps. the startup code of applescript is available on the Internet. For example, it is actually a bash script.

To work with the configuration script I used in the previous article, you can also write a more general startup script:

To add this part to the configuration script, you need to modify it a little bit.
