INSTALL VMWARE
- Create the VM Image (12 GB memory)
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.
