PHP on Vagrant VirtualBox on Linux is 10 times slower then PHP on Linux

I used php-benchmark-script to check php benchmark on (a) Ubuntu Linux and (b) Vagrant with Ubuntu Linux running on the same Ubuntu Linux and (c) Vagrant on My Mac

For vagrant I use this configuration.

(a) Ubuntu Linux

--------------------------------------
|        PHP BENCHMARK SCRIPT        |
--------------------------------------
PHP version : 5.5.23-1+deb.sury.org~precise+2
Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 0.969 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 1.028 sec.
test_loops                : 0.709 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.589 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 3.295 sec.

(b) Vagrant with Ubuntu Linux running on the same Ubuntu Linux

no vm.synced_folder

--------------------------------------
|        PHP BENCHMARK SCRIPT        |
--------------------------------------
PHP version : 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.11
Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 17.078 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 15.038 sec.
test_loops                : 1.468 sec.
test_ifelse               : 1.790 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 35.374 sec.

(c) Vagrant on My Mac:

vm.synced_folder: type: "nfs"

--------------------------------------
|        PHP BENCHMARK SCRIPT        |
--------------------------------------
PHP version : 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.11
Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 2.849 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 2.631 sec.
test_loops                : 1.614 sec.
test_ifelse               : 1.760 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 8.854 sec.

What should I do to make it work faster?

hypernode benchmarks

(d) hypernode on vagrant on ubuntu:

--------------------------------------
|        PHP BENCHMARK SCRIPT        |
--------------------------------------
PHP version : 5.4.26-1~ppa1~precise
Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 1.004 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 1.111 sec.
test_loops                : 0.591 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.609 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 3.315 sec.

(e) hypernode on vagrant on mac:

--------------------------------------
|        PHP BENCHMARK SCRIPT        |
--------------------------------------
PHP version : 5.4.26-1~ppa1~precise
Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 1.041 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 1.064 sec.
test_loops                : 0.650 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.636 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 3.391 sec.

With hypernode benchmarks are better. But Magento loading time is still not so good. And I don't know which script to use to show how to reproduce the speed issue.

Seems, that your are using badly configured vagrant box on your system. E.g. no optimized virtualization, low memory, not all CPUs are shared.

I got absolutely different results on my own machine:

OSX Yosemite, PHP5.5

--------------------------------------
|        PHP BENCHMARK SCRIPT        |
--------------------------------------
Start : 2015-07-31 11:42:45

--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 1.078 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 1.514 sec.
test_loops                : 0.813 sec.

Vagrant Box (nfs server is on guest OS) Ubuntu, PHP5.4

--------------------------------------
|        PHP BENCHMARK SCRIPT        |
--------------------------------------
Start : 2015-07-31 11:43:28
Server : @

Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 1.143 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 1.171 sec.
test_loops                : 0.728 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.642 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 3.684 sec.

I have such a configuration of Vagrantfile:

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
BOX_NAME='project'
HOSTNAME="#{BOX_NAME}.box"
ALIASES=%w(subdomain.project.box subdomain2.project.box)
ALIASES << HOSTNAME

%w(vagrant-hostmanager vagrant-nfs_guest vagrant-auto_network).each do |plugin|
  unless Vagrant.has_plugin?(plugin)
    raise 'In order to use this box, you must install plugin: ' + plugin
  end
end

AutoNetwork.default_pool = '33.33.33.0/24'

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.ssh.forward_agent = true
  config.vm.provider 'virtualbox' do |vb|
    # Clean up network interface after tests.
    vb.destroy_unused_network_interfaces = true
  end

  config.vm.box = "hypernode"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://vagrant.hypernode.com/catalog.json"

  config.vm.provision "shell", path: "vagrant/provisioning/hypernode.sh"
  config.vm.provision "shell", path: "vagrant/provisioning/project.sh"

  config.vm.synced_folder '.', '/vagrant/', disabled: true

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-nfs_guest")
     config.vm.synced_folder 'server', '/data/web', type: 'nfs_guest', create: true,
        linux__nfs_options: ["rw", "no_subtree_check", "all_squash", "insecure", "async"],
        map_uid: Process.euid, map_gid: Process.egid
  end

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-hostmanager")
    config.hostmanager.enabled = true
    config.hostmanager.manage_host = true
    config.hostmanager.ignore_private_ip = false
    config.hostmanager.include_offline = true
    config.vm.define 'hypernode' do |node|
      node.vm.hostname = "#{BOX_NAME}.hypernode.box"
      node.vm.network :private_network, auto_network: true
      node.hostmanager.aliases = ALIASES
    end
  end
end

You can find more info on a vagrant box I am using at the following url: https://github.com/ByteInternet/hypernode-vagrant

This box has been developed by ByteInternet from a subset of their hosting environment configurations, optimized out of the box for Magento.
