High Host CPU

Post by seanius »

Hi,

I am running a Windows XP SP3 Guest running on a Mac OS X 10.5.4 2.2Hz Intel Core 2 Due, 2GB memory using VirtualBox 1.6.4.

I converted the Windows XP Guest using VMWare Converter. When I run the Guest I get high CPU utilisation (1 core is 100% constantly) on the Mac host, even if the guest is idle. I have seen a few similar issues in the forums, but is there a fix for this or is this an outstanding bug with VirtualBox?

Thanks in advance for your help.

High CPU Usage... Mac HOST

Post by amagine »

Yes High CPU Usage is an Issue. And is listed as a BUG.

My CPU is usually running 100% on one of my cores at idle if I have two USB devices 'attached' to my GUEST.
