I don't know if I'm alone in having this problem, but my machine has a=20
nasty habit of hanging solid while using vmware2 (can't drop to kernel
debugger, no dump, nothing).

If this problem doesn't hit you, then it might work nicely.  The restart
time is about 30 seconds or so, then you can assume the VM will run at
about 50% speed, compared to native, in my experience.
