VMWare image performance
If you are using an HP laptop like me, you might experience performance issues when you are using virtualized images. One solution is to let VMWare create your swapfile in memory instead of on disk. In this case, use the following settings in your vmx file: MemTrimRate = "0" mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE" sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE" prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "TRUE"
