But MediaWiki-Vagrant uses a "stock VM". Its Vagrantfile loads a
trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant-disk1.box which contains a vmdk that
as far as I know is much like other Ubuntu VMs.

Did you try Parallels instead of VirtualBox? "The Parallels provider for
Vagrant is a plugin officially supported by Parallels. The plugin allows
Vagrant to power Parallels Desktop for Mac based virtual machines"
http://parallels.github.io/vagrant-parallels/

LXC on a Linux host should be faster than Vagrant VM, but it's hard to see
how running Vagrant as an LXC in a VM on a Mac can be faster than running
Vagrant as its own VM. 8-)
