I know you didn't ask me but in case you do ....  :) ... I'm using a
VDI.

How much RAM does the host have?  

For my VM, I'm using the default 8MB of video.  I believe in the docs
it says there's not much to gain in cranking up the video RAM.

My VM uses minimal disk.

In your VM's task bar, any memory hungry drives running?  It sounds
like your VM is swapping.
