VirtualBox runs fine so far, except the P4 machine on which it runs on really shows its limit. The machine is crawling ever since the VM is active and I keep wondering if additional cores will help in this case.

OpenSolaris on VM
I came across VirtualBox, the virtual machine (VM) from Sun. Curious, I downloaded it under Ubuntu and installed OpenSolaris on it.

Additional cores will help a bit but you'll still be faced with the same limitations of emulation.
On a newer machine with the hardware virtualization stuff, you may want to go with something like Xen and run a separate OS on each core.
