CPU at 100%

[Hershey]

My VB Guest CPU hovers around 100% most of the time. The host stays around 20-30%.
Host is a Dell Precision Workstation with a Xeon E5 processor with 8 logical cores.
With the guest shut down I was able to change the number of processors. I chose 4. We'll see what happens.

Excellent result. The CPU is now hovering around 20-30%

Typically we need a ZIPPED "VBox.log" to make an assessment about the available cores on you host. You can search for it yourself if you open the log and search for "Physical cores". Then you need to remember that simple rule:

• Total CPUs for your guests + 1 ≤ Host CPU cores.
• Total RAM+vRAM+overhead for your guests ≤ Host available RAM + some.
