It may be something new, but I can report that the two things I saw causing a significant slowdown vs. 4.2.18 seem to have been fixed, at least as of 4.3.4.

There may still be some corner-case out there, however. I did have one particular Fedora 19 session that ran slowly, but I have not been able to reproduce the problem so I have not reported it. It could have been a problem with the guest OS, so unless I am able to reproduce the problem I'm keeping quiet here.

That's good to know. We've had one or two other reports that 4.3.4 did resolve the slow XP guest problems.

It's possible that there are still some issues left, but we need information on exactly what the problem is and how to reproduce it before we can do anything...
