Virtualbox and network interface

Quick question...

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 both as host and guest in the most recent 
Virtualbox (downloaded from their site, not the OSE).

When I tried running with the host interface, the network seemed to run 
slooooow as I started doing updates. The graphical interface kept 
graying out and becoming nonresponsive.

Switched to NAT, and it started buzzing along with the updates.

Anyone else see unusual behavior with Ubuntu as guest running on an 
Ubuntu Host, latest version of VB?
