Hi there,
I've been using VMWare Player for a whole bunch of stuff lately, and one thing *really* bothers me:
When I suspend a VM with 2GB of RAM, my work computer locks up for about 5-10 minutes while VMWare writes to the various VMDK and VMEM files. During this time, it literally takes 100+ seconds to open a Windows Explorer window or open the task manager, and the hard drive LED lights up continuously...
Since this is a work machine, I can't just replace the hard drive with an SSD and be done with it, so I'm looking for a software-based workaround. Is there a way to make the VM keep these files continuously up to date (with low priority writes) while the VM is running so that the suspend process will be less painful?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
