Headless vs Head CPU utilization
Posted: 14. Jan 2009, 05:31
Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on why when I launch an XP vm headless it consumes about a constant 40% cpu utilization with a great deal of pHD disk thrashing, but when I launch the same vm through the GUI VirtualBox control app - it only consumes 2% with hardly any thrashing.
This is most unfortunate - I was hoping Headless would consume even less resources.
Host - Vista Ultimate 64 - Q6600, 8GB Ram, 640GB HD.
Guest - XP Pro SP3, 768mb, 64mb video, 64GB vHD.
TIA,
