Virtual machines are extremely fast on somewhat-recent hardware due to 
hardware support. Using the gui inside the VM is somewhat slow since it has 
to go through the graphics emulation, but if you connect with the OS 
browser its probably difficult to notice any speed difference.

Of course the VM can't be much smaller than this if you want to be able to 
develop inside it:

$ du -sh Sage/
