sluggish performance

[Dexter Filmore]

I noticed Feisty draws a lot more CPU power than the Slackware 11 installation 
I used before. For example, on Slack I forgot some VMs on desktop 2 
occasionally because I simply didn't feel enough performance impact.
On the same machine (being an AthlonXP 3200+ with 1GB PC3200) a single Win XP 
in VBox slows the computer to a crawl as if I disabled HD DMA or so. (No, DMA 
is active.) I use the generic kernel instead of the 386. 
Is there something special about Kubuntu I should know here?
