Doing the same thing with VMWare does _not_ result in massive slowdown. I did some testing earlier today, and found that I experience the slowdown regardless of the traffic being sent from the VMs. That is to say, having the VMs running caused a slowdown during packet capture whereas having no VMs running and having the VBox modules unloaded did not cause a slowdown",defect,closed,network,VirtualBox 3.0.12,obsolete,,,other,Linux
