Component: - GeneralDrivers/Network/pcnet

In the top output I can see the pcnet driver interrupt using 100% CPU. After asking on IRC, this is on a virtual machine, so a workaround is to use a different network card. Yet, we should somehow make this driver behave properly?

This was a known problem in VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1067

It appears they finally fixed it this past May: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1067

So, there's nothing we can do here. If you are on an older VirtualBox version, use the Intel network adapter as both we and they suggest.
