How to improve Ubuntu's perormance in Virtual Box

How to improve Ubuntu's perormance in Virtual Box

I have a HP laptop with decent specs, Processor - AMD A8
RAM - 4 GB
Graphics - 1.5 GB don't remember the model, but there are two Amd Radeon
one 512 Mb integrated and one 1 GB dedicated Radeon, both clubbed using
crossfire.
Operating system - Windows 8 64 bit
I have installed ubuntu 13.04 on a virtual box virtual machiene and have
allocated decent 1GB ram and a single processor to it.
But problem is this VM is painfully slow. Its next to useless. When I
allocate similar configuration to Windows 7 VM, it works just fine even
withAero on.
So any suggestion what may be the reason for this.
I am facing one more problem, whenever i switch on any VM with mouse
integration on after that my trackpads swipe gestures stop working on Host
machine even if I switch off the VM. Any help appreciated.
