Gurus, We are running a W2K8 R2 64Bit (terminal server) Guest on Linux 2.6.33
The Hardware has 24 GB Ram and 2 * 4 Core (Xeon E5520). The Guest has 8 GB Ram and 4 Cores Seen from Linux (top), things look OK and the IO Wait is 0.0% PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 11465 root 20 0 8188m 7.8g 75m S 78 33.1 299:49.84 VBoxHeadless But the Guest feels extreemly slugish and in the Task Monitor all 4 CPUs are often at 100% use ... Looking at the process list, the per process percentages do not add up to 100% and still the Idle process does not get a share. The condition is not permanent, often there are short periods (10s) where the system goes quiet again and all is well. One very odd thing we see is that simple explorer.exe processes take up to 25% cpu ... Any ideas what could be at the root of this. cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch [email protected] ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900 _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
