generation of your i7? AFAIR several problems exist from gen 7 on; 6th generation seems ok. I run an 4th gen. i7-4771 (4 cores + HT) w/ 32 G RAM an two disks as well. Host is debian8. With two VM running (mint18 and W7) CPU load fluctuates betweeen < 10% (total!) and peaks a little more than 25%. Perhaps it is worth mentioning that my VM have 4 cores each and 3.5GB RAM; both are 32-bit systems. Does that matter? Don't know.
