Hello Mr. Eromenko,

thank you for porting this patch on beta version.

As for performance
Command to clone 70 VMs:
$ for i in `seq 1 70`; do VBoxManage clonevm "ZeroVM" --mode all
--register --name "ZeroVM Clone $i"; done
70 VMs, Host-only-interface mode:
I think it can happen because all your VMs have only one interface vboxnet0 (if I'm not mistaken?). In our case we have separate interfaces for every VM (/vboxnet1..80/), and all of them are in //etc/network/interfaces/, so host interfaces list updating takes significantly longer time.

unpatched:
2:30 min boot. -- 2:33 min (2nd run)
patched: (slower by margin of error)
2:35 min boot. .. 2:34 (2nd run)
What does this time mean? If I understand you right, you start VMs without OSes, but for simple VM starting this time looks too long...

Timed manually from smartphone, so 1 second mistake is possible. (not
via host OS timer)
We use time field in VBoxSVC log for chronometry (we attached /VBoxSVC.log/s to first letter). This way you can measure execution time for specific procedure (/FindHostNetworkInterfaceByName/ in our case) and see how this patch affects this.

Regards,
Alexander
