Performance of VMs are always the same if you configure it right. Just be sure to give it enough resources. I gave mine 24 GB RAM, 4 full cores of the CPU and enabled nested Paging. It runs perfectly fine (even with a shitty windows OS on it). Also you should use Virtualbox instead of VMWare Player. This will give you a very big boost on performance as vmware is just faster when using 3D stuff on it. For simple 2D server OS virtualbox is much faster (You can convert the vm by exporting in vmware to open format and than reimport on virtualbox).Originally Posted by Apache81
Depending on your machines network config you should also consider using bridget network instead of NAT. At least if you want others to connect too without fiddling with NAT settings
