I installed a Homestead box running from Virtual Box in parallel with Homestead running from Fusion, then I timed vagrant up as you suggested
Virtual Box: real 0m32.602s user 0m4.619s sys 0m1.937s Fusion: real 2m16.893s user 0m4.396s sys 0m0.599s Virtual Box is the winner, not only does it load faster, but it runs smoother as well, I don't get the random self resolving errors I have with Fusion. Despite what they say in the Laravel website, that Fusion shares files faster with your host, the time it takes to boot makes me want to use Virtual Box anyway, when I change something in my box I have to take a coffee break for Fusion to reboot. It's been three days since I opened a ticket with support and I have received no answer, I can't wait for them any more, also If you go the the vagrant website It's hard to find any mention about support (I bet if I compare it with Parallels that will trigger a response!). With my experience so far, if you consider buying the Vagrant VMWare tool, don't buy it unless you see or read about it working smoothly on your setup. In my case, the open source solution feels reliable and supported (virtual box), and the paid tool (Fusion with Vagrant VMWare plugin) feels like I wasted my time and money.
