OSX host: Dock icon problem when running java on Win2K guest

Reported by: Erik Martino Hansen Owned by:
Component: GUI Version: VirtualBox 1.6.2
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Mac OS X

Description

When I run java programs, which uses a lot of memory, The Virtual Box gets a spinning ball and I can follow window updates on the dock icon but not in the window anymore. This goes on for a couple of minutes and the Dock process has a high CPU load.

When I sample the Virtual Box process and the Dock process it spends most of the time updating the Dock icon and the dock spends a lot of time downsampling images.

Would it be possible to disable the Dock icon updates as it would make Virtual Box more usable?

Disabling the dock preview is possible in the preferences of VirtualBox for some time now.
