Thanks. Host is debian linux (wheezy) 3.0.0-1-686-pae. The guest is Openindiana (one of the Solaris offshoots). That guest is known to be resource hungary due to the nature of zfs filesystem. So I see between the two, a rather sluggish pair... guest and host. I guess my best move would be moving the vbox vm to a machine I have running win7 on i7 820 with 8GB ram. Its not real busy right now but on occasion does major video editing and other heavy graphics. I'll have to try to limit the guests activity during those occasions. Thanks for your excellent input. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
