            Bug ID: 51473
           Summary: Vagrant very slow with two processor setting and
                    IO-APIC conflict
           Product: Tools
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: MediaWiki-Vagrant

My vagrant instance ran very slowly, 50 seconds to view any page. The vagrant
box info in Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager (4.2.10_ubuntu) looks OK, but when I
click Settings, it warns

Non-optimal settings detected. ... you have assigned more than one virtual CPU
to this VM. This will not work unless the IO-APIC feature is also enabled. This
will be done... [when you press OK].

One problem is VBox Manager actually doesn't change this setting if vagrant is
running, it can't change it until you run `vagrant halt`.  After halting
vagrant, VBox Manager > Settings does update it, and thereafter Vagrant runs
about 9x faster!

Ori asked me to report a bug, mentioning that the Vagrantfile sets
   vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--cpus', '2']

My Vagrant instance is months old, maybe this IO-APIC conflict doesn't occur
any more.  If it does, perhaps this line should be commented out and users
should be recommended in installation instructions to review settings in
VirtualBox Manager.  I added a section
