Does anyone know why virtual machines running on macOS seem so much slower than the same virtual machines on the same hardware bit running Windows? This is what I have observed but I have not studied it in any depth. Maybe this change will improve things?

If you’re talking about running x86 on a VM on Apple’s chips, I doubt it.

You’ll need to emulate the architecture or add a translation layer to map the instructions from one architecture to another.
