At work I need access to Exchange 2007 server and untill new Gnome
comes out with MAPI support I have to run Outlook under windows under
Virtualbox.

The strange thing is that Firefox was running much faster under
virtual machine than one running natively under Linux! I couldn't use
native Firefox because somehow it would crawl... until I enabled these
new options I saw recommended (vm.swappiness=1 and
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50). Now native running Firefox is as fast as
one under virtual machine and I can finally use Firefox on Linux
desktop...

Any comments?
