How many cores on your physical box?

I have a 6 core Dell precision 7810. If hyperthreading is enabled (so
FreeBSD apparently thinks I have 12 cores), and VMs running under
VirtualBox are so slow as to be totally unusable. If I disable
hyperthreading, VMs are still extremely slow but usable in case of
emergency.


Yes, HT is enabled. I have six cores as well. Pretty sure we're facing the
same issue. I've never tried with HT disabled, however.

You may not use the core 0 (cpu0 and cpu1) with the VMs, I use the
CPUSET(1) command to do it. Eg. to start a Windows 7 VM in headless mode I
use the command:
#  cpuset -l 4-7 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBoxHeadless --comment
"Win7;5901" --startvm "Win7;5901"

Ummm... speaking from ignorance here, but why is this important or effects the operation?
