Guest systems are slow when host system is creating new guest

Guest systems are slow when host system is creating new guest, and gain normal speed again after creation process accomplishes. I wonder is there anything I can do about this like limiting usage of CPU or RAM resources? Though despite some jumping in CPU usage it is generally ok. But RAM gets filled up, though buffer/cache has quite large room:

free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         64398      64152        245          0         25      46363
-/+ buffers/cache:      17763      46635
Swap:        66591        515      66076

Am I experiencing RAM insufficiency? What buffer/cache sizes mean in this situation?
