There appear to be some issues with this functionality on FreeBSD
VirtualBox.  First one is the remote ssh problem already brought up.  I also
decided to benchmark a VM with 2d accel enabled vs one with it off.  The VM
was is running XP SP3 with 128 MB allocated to the emulated video card.  The
benchmark program is 2dbench from tom's hardware.  In short, the patch
appear to not help performance and perhaps even hurt it.

The result from 2d enabled:
