I want to use GNS3 and CentOS on VirtualBox in windows Server 2008 R2 on VMware.
I can install them completely, but CPU utilization of windows Server 2008 R2 has been 100%.
I want to lower CPU utilization.
What should I do anything ?
P.S.
I'm so sorry that my English is poor.
I hope anyone help me and tell me anything.

You can't run VirtualBox on VMWare. In general you can't run one hypervisor type VM inside another.

Clearly, that's incorrect -- as he's doing it an his CPU is maxing out.
Not to mention the GNS3 community has stuff plastered all over their pages about it (seemed weird to me too -- but they' say they're doing it, so whatever).
As for your CPU maxing out at 100% when running your IOS appliance, this is more of a GNS3 question than it is a VirtualBox one -- you need to set your IDLE PC value to prevent this from happening.

Hmm... seems I can't post urls, so I've obfuscated this, scroll down to the section about configuring the IDLE PC value.You will observe that without an idlepc value, CPU usage will be at or near 100%, but with an idlepc value, CPU usage will drop to a very low value.
