I know it's a fairly big download (esp. on slow connection), but you could download latest directly from their site. They have a fairly big selection of Linux distro packages (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuSE, Mandriva), even one (well, x86 or x64) that says "all distributions"!! (EDIT: Apparently binaries for "all distros" are 81 MB in size each.) https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.16/VirtualBox-4.2.16-86992-Linux_x86.run http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.16/VirtualBox-4.2.16-86992-Linux_amd64.run >> In worst case, revert to XCDROM but keep UDVD2 around. > > That's exactly what I did.

I mean, I don't use VBox much, but even on my painfully slow (no VT-X) laptop, I don't recall seeing any slowdown at bootup. BTW, I think there was also a DOS TSR that Eric Auer made for working around this. I don't know why it wasn't more widely publicized. I forget where I even got it, and I don't think I ever tested it. Worst case scenario: I (or Eric or ...) could email you that for testing.
