Description
Time runs slow in FreeBSD x64 guests, I am running multiple FreeBSD x64 guests and multiple Windows XP guests on the same host.
Tested with 7-STABLE, 8-RELEASE & 8-STABLE - the problem occurs in all versions.
This problem has been around since at least Virtualbox 2.1 (when I started using it).
I have tried all available timekeeping options in the guest (ACPI-safe, TSC & i8254), but none are accurate.
I did notice that the time was tracked accurately when I brought up a single machine after performing a fresh install of OpenSolaris b129 on the host, however, this was lost as I brought more machines up.
