Hi, Has anyone here seen slow down problems when running RC1 as a guest OS on Vmware (GSX or Workstation)? After about 2 minutes of normal running the VM slows to an absolute crawl. On the host the processor sits at 100% with almost 100% of it kernel time. The exact amount of time required to slow the vm down seems to depend on the amount of activity inside the VM. It's difficult to really measure though. The most bizzare thing is the work around that I accidentally discovered. If I turn off acceleration (or on, it doesn't make any difference which) in the Vmware configuration panel then the VM comes back to life. A minute or two later though and it slows down again. So, as long as I sit here toggling acceleration on and off everything runs smoothly. Anyone know a tweek or workaround for this? I've tried XP and W2k as hosts and VMware Workstation 3.2 and GSX 2.0.1 with the same luck. 4.7-STABLE does not have this problem.
