Have you ever encountered such a situation when you use VM5? Physical machine performance is very good, memory is rich, but the VM is slow to run.
This is because a new feature has been added to the Vmware5 version, and the system will create one for you. Vmem file, the size of this file is the size of the virtual machine system memory that you define. This file is used as the swap space for memory. The VM5 only uses 16 megabytes of physical memory, and the rest is exchanged continuously into this file. The benefit is that the virtual machine memory is not limited by physical memory, but the disadvantage is that using hard disk files to simulate memory, performance will be very low. This time you will see the physical speed is very fast, the memory is very much free, but the virtual machine is very slow.
In fact, this feature can be used to modify the VM's configuration file parameters to mask This feature to allow virtual machines to use physical memory. Use word processing software to open the configuration file for the VM, if the following parameter exists, change to False, the general configuration file does not have this item, you can add on.
mainmem.usenamedfile= "FALSE"

Installing VMware Tools can also significantly improve the speed of virtual machines.
