Micheal, I cannot help asking this question: is there anyway to enable raw mode 
in Windows host? Would it not be faster if it were to be made possible.

When it is running in so-called raw mode, as opposed to when it is using
hardware virtualisation, VirtualBox executes guest user mode natively
and kernel mode semi-natively (that is, it makes use of a few tricks to
do so).  See http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_architecture if
you are interested in the details.

Michael
