why does Virtualbox use 15-20% CPU when VM is paused?
- by laramichaels
Hello,
I run VirtualBox 3.1 on Ubuntu with a Win XP guest. I have noticed to my surprise that when I pause the VM (its screen grays out) VirtualBox continues using 15-20% of the host's CPU.
Is this normal behavior?
Is there a way to avoid it? (Without saving the state of the VM and exiting VirtualBox.)
Thanks for any insights!
