"Household" virtual machine performance. Who cares?
Yesterday I wrote an article about the performance study of a Windows 7 x64 guest in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 in comparison with the host system. In the process of testing, I came to the conclusion that even heavy DX9 applications can already be launched in the VM. And after writing, I came to the conclusion that there is not enough karma.
Accordingly, to ensure the security of the host system, it is quite possible to give, for example, a virtual machine to children to be torn to pieces with virtually no damage to children's games. And the paranoid will be able to disconnect the host OS from the network and work exclusively in a virtual environment, sometimes playing SC2, LoL, WoW. (although I haven't tested specific games yet - only 3DMark 06)
Would anyone be interested in seeing specific comparison numbers in 3DMark, game tests, CPU, memory and disk tests?
Should I test other VMs? For example, Virtual Box.
Any wishes are welcome!

Interesting about virtualbox. In particular, CPU, memory and disk tests. I want to install a virtual machine with Windows to work with sound, and there I need to forward usb-equipment and, just, the listed resources :)
Interesting VirtualBox and VMWare.
And in general, it would be great if I saw graphs, for example:
FPS (WOW):
Host = ********************200
Guest = ****** **50 (25%)
etc.
I'm very interested in comparing VirtualBox vs VMWare in everyday (games, flash, maybe even Visual Studio and Photoshop) applications. When both host and guest machines are Windows 7. Karma added.
It would also be interesting to compare the same VMWare on different host systems: Windows and Linux, but with the same guest. Will there be a noticeable difference?
