There's some negativity around this product on this thread, but honestly I'm really glad Virtual Box is around and under active development.

I have both an active linux and os x env for dev and I use virtual box to manage and switch between. It's been super useful, very reliable, fast enough, and, btw, it's free.

Do you just have a vanilla OSX VM installation or do you optimize it in some way? For me OSX is very slow on vbox on a very decently spec'ed VM. Far from my experience with Windows guests.
My OS X install is native; my linux is vbox. So OS X is the host.
