8368	"""Pause"" doesn't fully stop VirtualBox => Fixed in SVN"	Artem S. Tashkinov		"""Pause"" functionality in VirtualBox was intended to temporarily stop VM execution so that VirtualBox process consumed '''zero''' host CPU cycles.

Unfortunately it's not the case:

{{{
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  P COMMAND
12482 birdie    20   0  688m 619m 586m S  2.0 15.4   0:20.84 2 VirtualBox
}}}

I see consistent 2% CPU usage even though supposedly VirtualBox must be 100% idle.

Host OS: Fedora 14 i686, kernel 2.6.38-rc5 PAE, Intel Core i5 CPU, 4GB RAM[[BR]]
Guest OS: Windows XP SP3 32bit
