Well we also have to ask what the guest operating system is and what I've been wanting to know: what the swap situation is like in the guest. I'm pretty sure standard Windows is to have some swap on their main partition. Linux default is to make a swap partition but that's Linux.
I'm now wondering about RAM speed and latency. I actually don't think it would make much difference as if you're going into swap that's going to be your bottleneck. But we can try to minimize this bottleneck and maximize swap read/write by putting it on another drive separate from where the virtual machine drives are. We could also use a ram disk but we might as well just increase the available ram then.
I wish I knew more about virtualization. Too bad there aren't any free courses in my area even if I did have the time to attend any.
