That's a bad news. :-(
Then why is it so slow?

IIRC Stefan already upgraded VBox to version 2.0. So maybe you have to contact him again about that.

VBox upgrade is a good idea.

By the way VBox on rage has also a memory exhaustion problem. See it:

At the same time it takes more than 10 seconds for me to execute an editor. :-( I hope it would be better after upgrading VBox. I'll register this issue as a ticket on the admin system.
