I am of the persuasion that there are no stupid questions only stupid 
answers.
Sorry for inadvertently causing your mental distress attack.


VirtualBox process often gets into the state when it takes 100% CPU on 
the host while guest is completely idle.
I don't see how can this be considered normal.

Pausing VM for a few minutes indeed remedies the situation, but after a 
while the same process gets to 100% CPU again.

This is not necessarily a bug report, just an observation that doesn't 
look normal at all.

Nothing special was done in the guest, I am not sure what other 
information can be relevant.
