Is Windows Host and Guest performance any good now in version 7.0?

I used to use VirtualBox heavily about 15 years ago and it seemed to work well back then for Linux hosts and guests.

Since then I've used it sporadically, using it for Linux guests on Windows 7/8/10 as well as Windows XP and 7 on higher Windows.

A few days ago I tried to install Windows 10 guest (4cores/8GB RAM) on host Windows 10 host(32GB/6cores)

This was on VirtualBox 6.3 and the performance was really slow.

Installation took an hour - using same NVME Samsung 980Pro for official Microsoft windows.iso and installation.

After installation boot is slowish - a few minutes, and guest system feels like using an Atom processor not i7.
