I had a problem with virtual box on linux and xp host. I was taking 100% of the cpu and idling high.
The problem was that the XP guest had the incorrect hal installed. Download the program this is discussed at length in the forum http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=45450 Download the program and set the cpu for standard PC and turn off acpi in the settings http://www.hardware.info/en-US/news/ym2cmZqYwp2a/Problems_updating_to_a_dualcore_CPU_Not_anymore/ Chip
