I ran into a somewhat similar problem a while back. Too many VMs open on the host - they had more memory allocated to them than the box had installed. Everything came to a screaming halt and ran so slowly, I couldn't clear it up.
<br />
<br />After half-an-hour trying to resolve it, I finally just killed the VMs and rebooted the box. As long as I opened fewer VMs and didn't use up all the memory - they would all run with no problems. Now to increase the memory in that box....

<font face="Verdana">Hello!
<br />>
<br />>
Has anyone had a problem where a virtualized BlueOnyx
(Scientific
Linux 86_64) runs really sluggish... Just booting up may take
more
than 10 minutes.
<br />>
<br />>
After its booted, a simple ls or top sometimes takes 30 seconds
to
respond.
<br />>
<br />>
Readin top, i can see that theres a lot of load and also a lot
of
wa% when the machine is basically idle.. Copying a few files
over
SSH may take the load to above its maximum.
<br />>
<br />>
Any pointers?
<br />>
Thanks in advance.
