title: How much of a performance benefit using hyper-v vs virtualbox?
body: <p>After reading up a bit on virtual machines and hypervisors I have a question: </p>
  
  <p>I know there are two different types of hypervisors - type1 and type2. Type1 hypervisors seem to take out the need to run a virtual machine on top of an operating system. To me this would make them faster for development given that type1 hypervisors have direct access to the hardware instead of having to go through a host OS first. Wouldn't it be beneficial then, as a game developer and 3d modeler, to utilize something like window's hyper-v (which is a type1 hypervisor) over something like virtualbox (which is a type2)? </p>
  
  <p>I ask because I know traditionally type1 hypervisors such as hyper-v are used more for server use instead of desktop use. I just want my virtual development environment to be as fast and responsive as possible.</p>
