As far as I know if the hard disk of the guest os is an image file on the host OS, the host OS treats it as a file and offer to cache it in the main memory. However if vmplayer access a partition or harddisk it is not cached by the host OS's file system. That might make it even slower. Unless of course the database is in particular on a raw device that is directly accessed from the guest OS, as Sandy pointed out.
The caching doesn't make a difference, as it is not really different. Regards, Lars -- SuSE Labs, OPS Engineering, Novell, Inc.
