VirtualBox High CPU Problem (Illustration)

With the release of Oracle VirtualBox version 4.0.4 , I was crossing my finger hoping that this issue was resolved, but apparently it is the same deal.

Problem:  VirtualBox CPU usage goes crazy even though the guest is idle. The only way i can get it to calm down is to create a dummy guest machine and run it simultaneously with the main VM.

Here is a video that illustrates my point:

HERE ARE MY SPECS

Hopefully this video above will give everybody a clear idea of the issue.
