I suspect that it has to do with Mojave losing support for the older graphics acceleration on the new Macs, and gaining support for Metal 2, and then Virtualbox not supporting the new Metal 2 but supporting the older OpenGL/CL. The speed was perfectly smooth on both macs.

I tried out Parallels and all I can say is it was night and day different. I went to my other computer (2011 27' iMac 32GB, High Sierra) and the speed was fine and both were running the same virtualbox. Keys would repeated 5-10 times even though it was let up. I would have major pauses between clicks to see any response - a minute or more. I can't pinpoint if the problem is Virtualbox or Mojave or the new hardware, but certainly there is a performance hit.

I had the exact same thing with a new MacBook Pro and Mojave. Thank you very much to reading the post and looking for solutions! Wish you all a great day!

The logs are in the attachment, I numbered them according to the orders in my post. I could use small screen but my sights are not very good and I would really prefer a full-screen display with larger text to make my eyes a bit more comfortable. Thus I think it should be a capability issue of VBox regarding to newer models of Macs. I think it is an issue with VBox having to 'move too many pixels around' as mentioned in several posts I found, but essentially the two models have similar resolution and ppi (2880x1800, 220 ppi). Then I tried using it in window mode (small window, 1/4 size of screen), the performance got even better, almost the same as it is on my old mac) I tried increasing or decreasing memory, VRAM, and processor, from default settings, the situation did not get better, but when I tried a exterior display (using DuetDisplay to extend to an iPad Air 2) the response of typing and moving mouse becomes fast.Д¤. I think the reason should point to how the newer model deal with rendering related to screen size.ДЈ. Guest: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (64), Assigned 8192 MB Base Memory + 64 MB Video Memory, 2 core.

I do not use VM for anything graphical rendering related, the vm is slow in basic moving around windows and typing (in terminal, Eclipse, anywhere) By sluggish I mean slow response of mouse moving, keyboard typing, worst is identify one keyboard input or mouse click as many repeated ones. However, what went perfectly fine on the old computer now becomes very sluggish on the new mac. Recently I switched from a MacBook Pro late 2013 to a new MBP 2018, and I setup virtualbox with same settings on the new computer. Hi all, I have been using VirtualBox for one of my class project that requires Ubuntu. (mod edit: the solution to this long topic seems to be here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90446&start=75#p470879 from '63BottlesOfBeer': run the VirtualboxVM.app in low resolution)
