I remembered making the same changes to virtual machine RAM, and I
was reading through the VPC help files and found that allocating more
RAM may actually slow the virtual machine and possibly make it
unusable. The same applies to VRAM. It's their product, and I'm not
attempting to use VPC for anything strenuous, so I'm back to default
settings and running acceptably. Sometimes less is more?
And my internet speed tests were way off. Reported downloads (VPC
running Win2K and using Firefox) were around 430 KB/s and uploads
around 150 KB/s when actual speeds were 150 down and 60 up. The same
tests using Safari were around 300 down and 70 up. I used Activity
monitor and X Resource Graph to monitor the actual speeds.

Actually if you read the documentation, it recommends that you run
VPC with 256 allocated. They say it runs best that way. Forget
where I read it so don't ask me to site a resource. :)
I did have it set that way for years, but when I bumped up total
physical RAM to 1 GB, I figured I'd try doubling it to see if it
sped things up. It didn't, as far as I could tell.
