After taking a second look, there appears to be more to this then just
vm configuration.

I set up the latest svn's for the ide and compiler on a well
provisioned VirtualBox 2.1 vm running Fedora 10 and am seeing the same
issue that the original poster described. Doing anything form related,
such as dropping a new component or moving an existing one drives the
cpu into saturation for many seconds. During that time, click events
are dropped, form repaints aren't done and the process activity seems
evenly divided between the ide and X. The huge Netbeans and Eclipse
ide's run acceptably fast on this vm, so this issue isn't due to a
lack of computing resources.

Trying to narrow it down, I removed all the Virtualbox guest
extensions, went back to the generic vesa driver, toggled hvm support
and tried running the ide as root... all with the same result. The
same ide and compiler svn's run fine on a bare metal install of Fedora
10.

This is the first time I've seen an application that didn't run
perfectly under VirtualBox and I'm curious what the underlying problem
is. I'm planning to set up oprofile when I have some time to see where
all those cpu cycles are going. If anyone has additional suggestions
for troubleshooting this, I'll be happy to try them.

Thanks,
