Hi Tom - I'd take a look at the power plans that the host and guest are running.

I have allowed Vmware to take all 4 cores. However even when all CPU cores for the VM are loaded at 93% on all cores the host machine's CPU is only loaded at 60%. Does anyone know of any ways to make the Host PC take on more load ? Thanks, Tom Peninsula Health - Metropolitan Health Service of the Year 2007 & 2009
