Please build a new app for Rosetta-python. Either Docker (for Linux hosts) or PyInstaller to pre-compile statically a python app to run natively without virtualization . (On any hosts)

VirtualBox consume a ton of RAM and lowers CPU performance. VirtualBox is great for testing and prototyping but it's a bad idea to run performance intensive workloads on it.

On my QuChemPedIA@home project my Windows11 tasks, using VirtualBox, are routinely faster than their Linux wingmen, although the latter often have a faster CPU. This is against all logic, but I see it on my tasks. I am number 35 on te RAC credits list.

It would be worth it a thousand times over if it allowed BOINC to run the tasks as a service rather than only when a user is logged in.
