You can guess from that how far back in time I'm going - all the way back to the 16-bit days, specifically X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter.

VMWare Workstation is your friend, dude
Runs many instructions straight on the hardware via a simple wrapper, removing the lag you are getting from VirtualBox.
It comes with a 30 day trial, and while I couldn't recommend it being a VMWare Certified Professional I have no doubt that there are somewhat less legitimate options available.
