I run Arch/Gnome in Virtualbox and get reasonable performance. There's some
menu lag, but it's not significant enough to bother me too much. It may just
be that my standards are lower :D
Virtualbox's guest additions and accelerated video definitely made a
difference for me, although apparently they don't yet support enough OpenGL
calls to allow Gnome 3's shell to run in a VM.
