Replying to grahamperrin:
… watching.
The best course of action is to delete the power management kernel extensions mentioned in the forum thread. I don't think VBox can really do anything to help out in this case until (or if) host additions are created for OS X.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.3.2.

Same thing here.
Host: Mac Pro 2008 w/ 8 Cores OS X 10.6.4 w/ x86_64 kernel VirtualBox 3.2.6
Guests that always have 100% CPU usage, even when totally idle OS X 10.6.4 (32 and 64 bit) OS X 10.5.8
Guests that do not have 100% CPU usage when totally idle: Linux Mint 9 (64 bit) Windows 7 (64 bit)
Given that the OS X guests peg one CPU at 100% whenever they are active it is like having an extra 60 W light bulb on in terms of power consumption.
