[OpenIndiana-discuss] Actions unreasonably slow 2021.0430

[hput]

Host OS: ubuntu-21.10 running zfs
Vbox version: 6.1.30
vm OS Openindiana/hipster New install of 2021.0430 with all updates as
of Jan 9
vm has 12.288 GB or ram
-------       -------       ---=---       -------       -------

I can't help but notice what feels like unreasonable waits for such things
as bootup and shutdown

At a rough guess it would be something like 300 percent slower
compared to other VBox vm running ubuntu on zfs.  With 9GB ram.

Have others noticed excessive time for such processes?
