Parallels 4 or VMware Fusion 2 on Snow Leopard?

[to1986]

Was just looking for some advice on which virtual machine you guys are finding works better on Snow Leopard.
I have Parallels 4, which I had on Leopard as well, with windows XP. Pn leopard it ran beautifully, however since upgrading I find its unbearably slow, and causes my whole system to slow down. I dont know if this is with parallels or with my system in general, as I have had a bit of trouble with Snow Leopard, though I believe I have sorted that out.
How have people found VMware to run in comparison to parallels? Is it worth switching?

I installed S. Leopard and can no longer use VMware Fusion w/MS Vista. Any advice?

Change back to 32-bit kernel. Fusion 2 won't work with 64-bit kernel.

I use Parallels on SL and haven't noticed any speed problems. It runs just like it did on Leopard.

You might try compressing your virtual drive.

I use Virtualbox. Its free and already supports Snow Leopard's 64bit kernel.

How do I go about compressing the virtual drive?
