I took another peek at the current VirtualBox to see how the project
is going. It looks like they've improved the network configuration
quite a bit so not-so-standard configurations are easier. When I'd
last used VirtualBox it took a couple days to get bridged networking
to a bond0 device working.   However, it looks like the CPU usage
issue still exists. The new one does have an internal networking which
is something I've wanted since using a similar technology with AIX.
On AIX it makes guest to guest transfers operate at incredible
throughput.
