Description
With a Windows XP guest system VB uses 100% of one cpu although the guest system is idle. This happens on a 64-bit dual core machine. The host is Ubuntu 10.04, all patches applied. Is there any debug output that I should provide?

Log see above. One interesting observation: When the Windows guest started the CPU usage was relative low. Then one process - dont' know which one - on the guest used a lot of CPU for a minute or two. When this process in the guest ended the guest was more or less idle. On the other side: top showed that the CPU usage of VirtualBox was roughly 100 % - permanent - from this time on.

I have the same problem here (XP Guest / Ubuntu Host, 64bit, Core 2 Duo) but I have a workaround - saving and resuming the VM brings it back to normal.
It seems something happening during the boot process sends VirtualBox off the rails

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.1.4.
Replying to now:
yes, attach the VM session log
