I'm using virtualbox on my work laptop, which seems to have a dog slow disk. Cygwin just generally runs slowly, but virtualbox through vagrant is snappy apart from the occasional stall that seems to be connected to the VM saving its state periodically. Is there any way to have a VM stay in memory longer and only write its state occasionally? Would I be making a huge mistake in doing this? Am I even understanding how VirtualBox saves state of VMs onto disk?
