Yes, Virtual PC is intended to support legacy business applications, needless to say Microsoft doesn't care about game performance in it. Nevertheless I have had great results with it, playing the Win9x and Win3.1 games that I want to, like Age of Empires II or Civilization II. I did have serious performance problems too when I tried VirtualBox, the OS itself ran very slow even before loading anything else; I didn't try hard to solve the problem, I just switched to VPC which works great out of the box for Windows.
