Unless ... you want to share a filesystem between the windows host and the vbox guest. In which case performance is god awful.

From host to guest network filesytems (cifs/samba) should be OK?

Depends what you're doing, honestly. Some software won't tolerate running off a network mount at all for various reasons, if so you're sunk.

Some is just slow because it's inefficient. It's been a while since I had to resort to this, but accessing a big svn checkout over cifs is so slow as to be useless.
