So, I'm having a high CPU utilization problem. My XP Pro guest is running at ~50% CPU at idle on my Ubuntu 9.04 host.

I found one bizarre solution to this, which is: Create another guest (without an OS - hell, without a disk seems to work too) and boot it. Leave the guest on the "FATAL: No bootable medium found!" screen. VirtualBox's idle CPU utilization goes to <10%. Close the "fake" guest and CPU util pops back up to 50%. I got the idea from some website which I can't seem to find anymore.

I was wondering if there's perhaps a cleaner solution to this? I've tried changing the proc affinity via taskset, but that had no effect. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg
