Description
Since I upgraded from 4.2.18 to 4.3, I'm seeing that my Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 guests are slow and unresponsive. In my Mac 10.7 host, I'm seeing a lot of spinning beachballs when I try to switch to my guests. Bridged network is unreliable.

I reverted to 4.2.18 after filing this bug. Guest performance went back to normal.

Same here under Windows 8.1 (sic) - all my guests are now incredibly slow.
Seems like disk performace has stalled dramatically in VB...

Same under my windows 7 64 bits(4GB) host. I had the same feeling when I was working with the vmware (slow and flaky) so I went back to 4.2.18

Can you check with VBox 4.3.2? If the problem still happens, how does your guest behave on VBox 4.3.2 running with 4.2.18 Guest Additions?

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit host. Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit guest. Same here. Went back to 4.2.18. Works much better.

VBox 4.3.2 on OSx 10.9 here. Same deal, when activating a guest, it beach balls for about 5 seconds. This happens even when switching between screens associated with the same guest. I found the following reported to the system log:
11/17/13 1:40:02.000 PM kernel[0]: USBF: 1196007.662 AppleUSBEHCI::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5000 milliseconds on bus 0x1d, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
I tested several times and this message consistently pops up when the delay happens. Disabling USB in the guest has no effect, the delay and usb report still occurs.

Further notes: Turning off mouse integration solves the delay between switching screens in the same guest. However, going back and forth between host and guest still causes this delay (and associated error message in the system log). So it appears to be an issue with activating a guest.

I upgraded from 4.2.18 to 4.3.4. (My host OS was upgraded from 10.7 to 10.9 a few weeks ago.) Based on limited testing of my Win7 and Ubuntu 12.04 VMs, the performance problems seem to have been fixed.
