3463	Host reports high virtualbox CPU for first few hours (guest reports 0% cpu load)	Licho		"Every time i start vbox machine, its cpu usage is high (about 1/2 of one core) for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Meanwhile guest reports 0% CPU usage.

This happens only if vt-x is disabled and both on linux and windows hosts. Tried virtual box 1.5 on windows and 2.1 on ubuntu.

Problem seems to fix itself at this moment:
