Mathematica causes 100% CPU load on Ubuntu 10.04 guest on Windows 7 host (on Ubuntu 9.10 host works fine)

[mszulc]

How to reproduce:

On fully updated Windows 7 Profesionall English and Virtualbox 3.16:

1. Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (English, US Keyboard).

1b. Start Ubuntu 10.04 and login as normal user.

2. Install Mathematica 7 from root acount (when asked for license, choose 2 (network) and type localhost as your license server - Mathematica won't work, but you will see 100% CPU load)
3. Run mathematica from console (as normal user)

Everything works fine with Virtualbox 3.08 OSE from Ubuntu 9.10 host.

'top' shows, that there are 3 tasks which consume CPU resources (every uses ~30%):

[mszulc]

(this is continuation of ticket discription)

java ~ 30% Mathematica ~30% MathKernel ~30%

When correct network server license applied, gui started and nothing changes. 'top' says, thah this is 99% sys usage.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 3.2.8.

I've installed Virtualbox 3.2.10 and enable Virtualization on my BIOS (HP 6710b, priviously Virtualization was disabled). Now it's much better, but 'mathematica' still consumes 30% of CPU time (in 'top' this is 10% MathKernel, 10% Mathematica, 10% java). Although I think it's OK and not a big problem (and maybe installation of Guest Additions will help, which are already not installed).
