Virtual XP - what's best?

I am currently running Windows XP in VirtualBox on my Macbook. However, I've run into the dreaded Windows unrecognised USB device everytime I try to use a USB thumbdrive. This is a common bug with Virtualbox and is countered by running the virtual machine on 1 core not 2 or more. This however results in a performance hit.

So, I'll put the question out there - what is recommended for a reliable virtual environment for XP in the mac world?

Bootcamp is not the preferred option as I don't game with it and don't want the shutdown hassle for switching environments.
