slow graphics in ML VM

[gwschreyer]

The graphics performance in a ML VM is really poor. It acts like graphics are being executed in software. I have the VM configuration set for better performance and to favor the VM. Is there a way to make it use the graphics hardware in a 2011 iMac?

I am experiencing slow UI and processes in my virtual machine too. But according to iStat menu, my GPU memory is already maxed out. So I don't know if letting it use graphics hardware is going to help!

Yes, they are executed via software, Apple doesn't give the necessary access to their APIs. Pretty much forget about running anything requiring hardware acceleration in OS X VMs. As of now, there is no way to make these VMs use the GPU.
