Hi, only inside VirtualBox, I think it's only an application problem and my emails would be probably better addressed to ports@. ONLY the guest is affected when host is loaded. I noticed additionally: You get better results with a desync'ed clock in the guest system, when you start "openssl speed -multi 20" or similar. Within a few seconds the clock gets a 20 seconds difference. > How many CPU's did you assign to the guest? > Did you install virtualbox guest additions to the guest? Here a few details (guest additions are installed): Memory size: 1600MB Page Fusion: off VRAM size: 256MB HPET: on/off (tried both settings) Chipset: piix3 Firmware: BIOS Number of CPUs: 1 Synthetic Cpu: off CPUID overrides: None [...] ACPI: on IOAPIC: off PAE: on Time offset: 0 ms RTC: local time Hardw. virt.ext: on Hardw. virt.ext exclusive: on Nested Paging: on Large Pages: on VT-x VPID: on [...] 3D Acceleration: off 2D Video Acceleration: on > Do you run NTP on the guest XP also? If yes, turn it off. Windows XP default installation (synch'ed to time.windows.com). Switching this off, does not have any influence. I think MS-Windows does not do continuous synchronization, only at system start, I guess. > VBox guest additions can sync the guest clock with the host. I'll try to deinstall them.

Still VirtualBox ist nice and cheap solution. -- Martin
