[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#540803: High CPU usage, although guest system is idle

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 3.0.2-dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal

My guest VM (Debian GNU/kFreeBSD) does nothing but still causes VirtualBox
to completely occupy one CPU core.

on the host:
    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  14915 jak       20   0  817m 454m  44m S   84 22.6  17:04.09 VirtualBox

on the guest:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
   11 root     180   0     0    8    0 R 99.9  0.0   1519:37 idle
