Folding from Virtual Machine (Hyper-V)?

Hi guys. I have a personal lab server running Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V machines.

I have one core that's not doing anything, and I wanted to dedicate it to an Ubuntu server install running folding for [H].

Is this even worth doing? Any tweaks you can think to make for this scenario?
 
I did this on a laptop when I was learning Ubuntu and v6 vs v7 clients. It worked, EDIT. From some of the other posts here, the WU's on Ubuntu will finish faster than in Win, but this wasn't part of the testing I did. I used multiple threads (5, 6, and 7) for the testing. Since I did this testing before I knew about all the client options, others will have to speak to optimizing 1 core; however, I am guessing there aren't any that will help 1 core output. I still have the VM and could experiment. If I find anything I'll post here.

Any CPU added to Team 33 is welcome and the extra science completed is important.

I have one VM running under ESXi, but as CPU:3; also Ubuntu with v7. It gets me additional 10kPPD. Not too bad for a box which runs anyway (firewall, NAS). Actually that VM was my first attempt to fold. Need to keep it up even for sentimental reasons ;-)
