Running Armory in a VM on a host machine where Bitcoin-qt is running

[xHw22XRJ]

Since I'm unable to answer the thread below directly (newbie restriction), I am posting this question here. I understand it's not possible yet to run Armory on a remote host. But I am wondering if it would be possible to run it on a VM on a machine where Bitcoin-qt is running. Armory runs very poorly on my desktop (OS-X) and frequently crashes after taking all day to read in the blockchains so I would like to run it in a linux VM.
