Hi,
* Igor <freescalereg@...129...> [2016-02-17 20:55:30 +0300]:
I normally have 100 Mbps Internet, but on Nova-vbox it was initially about 10 Mbps. I revisited all network chain from iPXE Intel driver up to vbox/network.cpp. Ripped some (unneccessary for me) code from nic_drv, increased vbox prioprity to -1 (works great), use virtio instead of Intel PRO/1000, disable UART logging (on low level though). As a result, the best speed I've seen was about 25 Mbps while on my base Windows 7 I have exactly 100 Mbps in vbox for any guest.
There were issues with certain Intel nics that are fixed on the current master branch [1]. Please give this commit a try.
