I don't know if this makes any difference, but I'm currently running VBox 4.1.x on OI, and I'm thrilled with it.  I have not yet upgraded to 4.2, which was a new major release.  So ... Perhaps maybe there's some performance bug in 4.2?

When you upgraded to 4, how long ago was it?  Do you remember 4-point-what?
