278	VirtualBox is rather slow if other programms do computations	dodger48		"Hi,

VirtualBox can run guest systems very fast if it has the CPU of the host system for itself. But if other programms that consume much CPU cyles (like mencoder) it breaks down. E.g. booting of Debian in VirtualBox that takes normally 30 seconds lasts approx. 45 minutes.

It doesn't help even if I give the processes of the CPU cycles consuming programms a priority of 19 (with renice) and VirtualBox a priority of -19.

My configuration: VirtualBox 1.3.8 OSE and 1.3.99 from SVN. The same result with both versions.
Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.3
Host OS: Debian Etch
Guest OS: Debian Sarge
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.50GHz
Ram: 1,25 Gb

Would be nice if you could fix it or give me a hint what I made wrong."	defect	closed	other	VirtualBox 1.3.8	fixed	slow booting		other	other
