Ubuntu Guest very slow on Lenovo Thinkpad P50

Hello everybody!

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad P50 laptop with with:

- Intel i7-6820HQ CPU

- SanDisk SD8TN8U512G1001 SSD

- NVIDIA Quadro M1000M video card.

- Windows 10

I have performance issues in Player 16.2.1 with Ubuntu 20.04 guest.

It looks and feels like this:

1) the system takes 55 seconds to boot (from "BIOS" phase till GDM login) - not a disaster of course, but isn't it a little bit slow for a freshly installed desktop system without nothing?

2) this one is what bugs me most besides poor performance: there is a certain lag in every input-output action.

For example, I open a terminal window and there is approximately 500ms lag between entering a character and its appearance on the command line.

 

So something is really wrong with my setup, but I cannot figure out what.

It is definitely not Guest RAM availability, because I have 6.3GB free RAM in my Guest after booting.

 

Any Ideas?
