Why is VMware slow?

VMware uses shared writable mmap for paging files but it doesn t detect that this method is very inefficient.

Workaround: Set  mainMem.useNamedFile=FALSE in the .vmx file and VMware will perform much better. Please also see this VMware Knowledge Base article which addresses troubleshooting the most common hosted disk I/O performance problems.
