I tried VMs years ago (not for SAGE) and I REALLY did not like how many
resources are needed to run the simplest app.
I tend to run natively now (I use Ubuntu Linux for SAGE). If you are
stuck with Windows, you may have to increase your RAM. How much RAM are
you using?
In any case, I would recommend Linux boxes....

However, I had a major disappointment. I wrote a short script, and it
is apparently too much for sage/python to handle when I am running a
virtual machine from Win 7. I use process monitor and it goes like
this: when I run my script, both the CPU and RAM usage (in virtual
machine) SHOOT up to 100%, and then swapping begins, after two minutes
or so the CPU falls back to around 0 but the memory never gets
released back from 100%, and my whole ubuntu, the whole virtual
machine, freezes. (While the system monitor still shows steady 100%
usage of memory). I have to restart the VM.
I never worked with a virtual machine in Windows, so, I am not really
an expert. However, I thought it should be possible to use something
like ulimit in order to prevent the VM from freezing (simply because
the application is killed before the VM freezes)?
