I hate to revive this old thread, but I am having a really tough time running 2+ VMS (even with VRAM of 300MB each on a host having 2GB real RAM). The main problem is that the virtualbox.exe process sucks up 30+% of the CPU on the windows 2000 host. This slows down EVERYTHING on the host. Im using vbox 1.5.6 as there is no easy way to upgrade previously built machines to future versions.
I was planning to use Vbox for 10g RAC/ASM oracle simulation for my team, but this is not getting anywhere. The CPU usage is way too much per machine. I have dual core intel CPU on the windows host. -- Thanks Gaurav ----- Original Message ---- From: JD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: VirtualBox end user list <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 23, 2008 10:19:53 PM Subject: Re: [vbox-users] VirtualBox.exe: 98% cpu usage I have the same problem with both hosts: win xp and Fedora 7. Running the guest and doing any useful kind of work on the guest, especially when doing disk io and/or net io, it sucks up from 70 to 100% of my amd64 3700+ cpu. This is my experience with VB 1.5.x and the current 1.6. JD de Almeida, Valmor F. wrote: > Hello, > > I have vbox-1.6 installed on a Windows XP host and a linux gentoo guest > fully functional.
