XP host, SolarisExpress Guest High Host CPU load

Post by thor42 »

The host is XP Professional with VirtualBox 2.1.2 and 2GB RAM.
The installed guest is Solaris 5.11 svn_103.
The guest has 1024 MB BaseMemory and 32 MB VideoMemory.

If a xterm is openend or a window is moved the host CPU is 100% for quite some time. If nothing is done, the host load is at 5-10%.

Is it possible to improve the performance?
Running UbuntuServer is quite fast compared to Solaris.
