I used to use it quite frequently and it worked well. - Although that's
only true for nested VMs with 32 bit.
I haven't found any positive nor negative reports about nested VMs with
64 bit. From Virtual Box trac feature request somewhere I know, that
Virtual Box doesn't virtualize VT-X/AMD-V. 64 bit os's seem to depend on
that feature. - My own 64 bit VM (non-nested) doesn't boot without the
VT-X/AMD-V setting checked. So I am fairly certain, that 64 bit nested
VMs is a lost cause.

I see.

It's a bit to heavy for me. I try to get the Squeeze build environment
up and try to get a few smaller patches merged.
