XP on vmware fusion suddenly became slow

[louis731]

Folks,

I've been running XP on VMWare Fusion for a while, the performance were
acceptable.

However, since yesterday it became sluggish, I reboot the machine and
the problem remains.

Someone advise here?

Thanks,
Louis

Probably because the new version is coming out. J/k

I've seen some posts on VMware Fusion forums from people who said this happened to them after they installed the latest version (2.06).

This is happening to me as well. I used to have balanced performance on my Mac and VMWare but as of late, it has been one or the other. I have noticed that my memory is getting low where it didn't before. Hopefully this is something they will fix soon.

I've had real problems with sluggish performance when resuming from suspended sessions on both 2.05 and 2.06. Had always been snappy before, but it's like wading through treacle on the recent versions of 2.x. The solution I found was to shut the VM down and start it up each time, rather than suspending it, and then all worked fine.

I upgraded to 3.0 yesterday and that's fixed the issue for me, in fact it seems faster than ever now.
