Is it possible related to this bug - which has a partial fix in place:

   <http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1728>

I tried to replicate what you're seeing and I couldn't; I do have the
above patch in my VM though.

My test was as follows:

   host  os:  openSUSE 11.0
   guest os:  Windows XP

host:   [fly]              [zoom]
        -----------        -----------------------------------------
        SMB share          VM:  Open `128KB' Word DOC found on [fly]

As a test, I `seeded' the VM by starting Word without opening any
files.  After my cache is warmed, I opened the Word DOC on `[fly]' and
it opened lickity split.

Cheers,
