hi , since i am new with ubuntu, i decide to install virtualbox to install a ubuntu 12.04 guest virtual machine, even tho my host is, as well, ubuntu 12.04.
the reason is when i am not sure of something i might try or install on my host ubuntu, i prefer to start virtualbox and experiment on my virtual ubuntu OS to see if everything run ok and i did not make a mistake.
i do have windowns XP as a guest virtual OS.
my windows XP run smoothly with sometimes a bit of lag that do not last past 2 sec.
but when i try to use my guest ubuntu virtual OS, it is lagging for like 10sec if not even more pretty often .
is it normal and if it is not, what can i do to fix this ?
by the way i allowed 1.5G of ram on both virtual machine while my host ubuntu has 3.6G ram in total.
for the setting on my virtual OS ubuntu in the display segment, i did allowed 3d ( i could not allowed 2d it seem with ubuntu), but i do not think it matters because it is the second time i installed ubuntu in my virtualbox and i had previously check neither of those option of 2d and 3d and it still lagged has badly has it is now .
am i missing anything ?

ps: it is even worst , the machine just stop responding after very few actions, when i use a guest account or another account that i create in my virtual machine, when basically i do not use my administrator account on my virtual OS ubuntu.
