Re: WWW:Mechanize::Firefox slow into Wmare/Virtualbox VMs

Memory and CPU specs? That asked, usually this sort of thing in a VM is disk I/O related. I'd start there. This is after you ensure there are no network conflicts.

In other words, this doesn't sound like a Perl issue at all.

I second that. The from 40 to 2 per minute is quite the performance hit. So being a virtual machine on the same machine, it can not be CPU unless you have a 20 core machine and the virtual machine has only one core assigned. Can you fit in a second network card? Then bridge it? The concept is explained here: https://blogs.oracle.com/fatbloke/entry/networking_in_virtualbox1 If you can not. There might be a faster network emulation.
