There are a great many options for how VMWare operates that bear very heavily on perceived performance. I use it in a way that makes it much faster than the default.
Could you please tell in what way you use it Randall ?
For starters, use physical disks or partitions thereof, not logical disks emulated as files on the host operating system. Disable snapshots and debugging. Don't disable acceleration. By all means install the VMWare tools in the guest OS. They make a huge difference, especially in graphics and mouse handling and general smoothness of operation.

There are not many (if any) options to control the speed of suspend/resume a virtual machine. I tried everything I was suggested in the vmware 5 forums but there is no way to speed up suspend/resume of virtual machine to a point that I consider usable.
I wouldn't know--I have no particular use for it. But if it takes so long to suspend, why not just shut down? The VMWare BIOS start-up is quite fast. Windows XP's start-up is also far faster than earlier versions. Randall Schulz
