VirtualBox has been proven to run faster than VMware server. A timed experiment of an installation of Windows XP as the guest OS took 20 mins in VirtualBox and 35 mins on VMware server. A similar test on the booting time of the guest OS also shows favor to VirtualBox with a timing of 45 seconds compared to over twice as long on VMware server.  VirtualBox itself as a download is less than a quarter the size of the VMware installer.  Also, VirtualBox has built-in support for remote file sharing.  Networking is possible in a number of configurations to isolated test LANs and host bridging capabilities.
