Sorry for inadvertently causing your mental distress attack. VirtualBox process often gets into the state when it takes 100% CPU on the host while guest is completely idle. I don't see how can this be considered normal. Pausing VM for a few minutes indeed remedies the situation, but after a while the same process gets to 100% CPU again. This is not necessarily a bug report, just an observation that doesn't look normal at all. Nothing special was done in the guest, I am not sure what other information can be relevant. 9.0 amd64 host Yuri
