I am running XP guest on Karmic / 2GB AMD 2x4400+ with Samsung-SSD. I suspected the filesystem (ext4) but on XFS, nilfs and btrfs it is all the same: XP guest loads for AGES... unusable... However, for me it is worse when virtualisation is turned off. When the system is otherwise idle, disk throughput alternates between 3 MB/s and 150 k periodicalle every other second (according to gkrellm). The SSD can deliver 250 MB/s - so I suspect some probs in the way Virtualbox 3.0.10 accesses disks. (Or the Koala?) No difference between "IDE" and "SATA" mode for the guest emulated controller. Will leave my phenom-hosted virtual machines on jaunty until this gets clearer.
