I have never tried to run it in a virtual machine, but I guess some more
people are interested in this topic, so it would be great to have some
more information here.

What kind of hardware is the host machine for your VM?
What settings are you using for your virtual machine (RAM, Diskspace,...)?
Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
What does 'uname -a' ran in a console inside the VM give you?
What is 'extremely slow' in seconds (or minutes)? ;-)
