I just ran winxp 32 bit guest on FC12 host using VB-3.2 release. CPU load of both VB threads did not exceed 25% (i.e. 50% total) On my uniproc Athlon64 3200+, this is the norm, for VB, and nothing new. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
