Wow. That's really odd. Was there any particular piece that noticeably
took time?

I don't use Virtualbox myself, but I'm regularly using kvm to do test
installations and it's really quick. Are you using exactly the same
settings for Virtualbox as for the other distros you mentioned?

Pondering if there's a performance problem there with disk or network
or CPU emulation maybe - difficult to tell. :-/
