Virtual display device is VMSVGA, no 3d acceleration enabled.
Guest is Arch Linux, host is same.
After viewing many or one video(s) from web via Google Chrome development build web browser, moving around GUI applications inside the VM gets noticeably slower. Only saving state and restoring it afterwards makes the VM normal again.

Rebooting slowed down VM and then restarting the desktop environment causes an error dialog to pop up where user is told to either shutdown the VM or keep it running for debug purposes.
This happens when user does save snapshot and quick restore of it to get responsive UI back (I forgot how many times you have to do this).

VirtualBox Version 6.1.0_BETA2 r134657 (Qt5.6.1).
