I have been having a good experience developing in a VM. I am run a Win 2k VM on my laptop (XP Pro, 2.16 GHz Dual Core, 2 gig of ram (the VM gets 1 gig of ram)) Both the ARS (7.0.01 p001 / ITSM 6) and DB (MS SQL 2000 SP4) are in the same VM and I have not had any issues.
The database is a copy of my production database granted our system is still in its infancy so there are not a ton of records. I do run in Development Cache mode. I almost always work with a partial list of objects since there are so many in ITSM. Maybe working with a limit set of objects helps with what Adam Pederson mentioned below (I have never noticed any issue along what he stated).

We have the same environment where the development server is running on VM and to make it even more difficult the SQL server is also on the same VM box. Every workflow was taking almost 5 minutes to get saved. To fix the problem ..not entirely but still made it pretty fast by turning ON the Development Cache mode in Admin tool. Also if your SQL server is on the same VM box and your workflow modification is real slow even after setting the Development Cache mode ON, try restarting the SQL server every once in a while . We do this whenever we run into slowness and then the workflow development is pretty fast for some time. Hope this helps!

Are you set developer cache mode on the server? Also, do you have object browser windows open when you are saving? I know that it can be a pain to always be closing and opening them, but I know from experience that it can really save you some serious time, especially with v7. Give this a try: 1) Open a filter and the object (server) browser and save a change the filter. 2) Do the same thing (or just undo the change you just made) but with the object browser closed. I think that you?ll be surprised by the difference in speed (at least I hope you will because that is my best bet for your problem)!

I've got an important deadline to meet making some customizations to ServiceDesk. Does anyone know what can be done to speed up Remedy Admin ?
