KDE User interface subtle slowdown.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit as my main operating system,
and am virtualising Mandriva Linux 2011 64 bit successfully.
I have installed the extra plugin for virtualbox.
When I am running java programs inside the java virtual machine, I notice
that there is a slight slow down to Konsole, particularly when just doing larger amounts default output
using System.out.println();.
How can I change this so that indefinite output happens instantaneously, with no slowdown,
particularly when printing from a while or for loop? Is there anything that can be done to help this?
(I have already entirely disabled scrollback).

I have read through the linked document, and can't find what is being talked about.
What is the name of this guest log file, and where will it be located?

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\64 bit Mandriva Linux 2011\Logs\VBox.txt
There are some other log files there. Is the default text file log the desired one?

Zip them all and send them as an attachment. I will look at the tomorrow.

Here are those log files. Can my Linux command line be sped up, more cleanly?

I have done everything but a vhd to vdi convert.
I have converted my vhd to a vdi file, but my VirtualBox 4.2.6 doesn't seem
to understand or import vdi files. Is there a way to make them work in VirtualBox 4.2.6?
Do latest logs reveal any other ideas?

You need to fix the shared folder issue.
Code: Select all
Host path 'C:\Users\Zac\Desktop\Network Folder', map name 'Network_Folder', writable, automount=true, create_symlinks=false, missing=true

00:00:01.542135 Console: VM runtime error: fatal=false, errorID=BrokenSharedFolder message="The shared folder 'Network_Folder' could not be set up: Shared folder path 'C:\Users\Zac\Desktop\Network Folder' does not exist on the host.
00:00:01.542137 The shared folder setup will not be complete. It is recommended to power down the virtual machine and fix the shared folder settings while the machine is not running"
You still need to update the guest additions. Your build is 4.2.6 and your GAs are 4.0.8
00:00:12.061034 Guest Additions information report: Version 4.0.8 r71778 '4.0.8_OSE'
You need to set the D'n'D to host to guest not bidirectional.

Do my "Guest Additions" need to be altered now?
Where do I go to remove Guest Additions anyway, if needed?
