Thanks for the tip! I have also found another way to make a Linux (Unix) guest much more responsive: Instead of working through the VMware Server console, start a remote X session from the host to the guest. This obviously requires an X server on the host, so for a Windows host that would need to be installed. I have used <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming" rel="nofollow">Xming</a> with great success. What I usually do is to open an SSH connection from the host to the guest and then launch applications (Emacs, GIMP, etc.) from there. The gives performance and responsiveness comparable to running Linux non-virtualized. An added bonus is that you can immediately Alt+Tab between Linux applications and Windows applications.

Google on alizard and VMware, the how-to article I wrote on VMware Server has got to be on the Net somewhere.
