I bet that might help. I get quite a bit of I/O stutter (at least that
is what I think it is) and I bet it is due to this.
With my applications I don't really care about it.

So I have an OI151a7 box. Latest vbox is installed with several
guests.
Make sure you have guest additions installed into each of the guests.
Make sure you don't give all the CPU's to any single guest. In my
experience, I give each guest half the CPU's. Then it load balances
pretty well... If I have 8 cores and I'm running 4-8 guests, I give
them all 4 cores. So I am overloading the CPU's, but as long as
they're not all assigned to a single guest, they seem to load balance
well.
Virtualbox disk performance is poor if you're using vdi. (IMHO.) So
instead, wrap a raw device (zvol) in vmdk file. It works much better.
All guests have guest additions. Nothing special was done for CPU
usage (default of 1 CPU). I'm wondering about the vdi vs zvol. Let me
give that a try...
