So I'm *still* having a CPU at 100% problem while running any single on a Linux x86_64 host. (proc: Core2 Duo E6600) I can work around this by opening a second guest with no OS on it ("FATAL: No bootable medium found!"), at which point both guests drop their CPU usage to low levels.

However in VirtualBox 3.0.10 r54097, this crappy workaround has a bug: Time on the *guest* machine is elapsing too slowly. To view this, open the "Date and Time Properties" and watch the analog clock - it takes about 3 seconds for a second to elapse on the clock on my own system. Closing the second (OS-less) guest causes the XP guest's time to elapse at a normal rate again - but also causes VirtualBox's CPU usage to go back to 100% on my system. I do not recall seeing this time issue on previous versions of VirtualBox but I may simply have not noticed.

Any thoughts, folks? Anyone else seen this?

Cheers,
Greg
