I installed VMWare on Fedora and it seems like Fedora is running much slower.
I used to run OpenSUSE with a trial of VMWare and everything ran great. I reinstalled OpenSUSE on a new machine but I had problems because it couldn't detect my video card. I installed the 32bit Fedora instead and was able to find my card. I bought VMWare (I need some Windows software for work) but it runs slow, access to the DVD drives is slow and running XP while working in Fedora is slow. This was not the case last year. In general, it seems that my Fedora is not as fast as it should be.
Anyone else having similar issues??

Add AnswerNot sure why this is happening but when I run VMWare and have my Vista VM up, it is painfully slow. I've not had that happen with my XP VM as yet, though.
I have noticed it has been somewhat slower since I have upgraded to kernel 2.6.23. You may wish to back up to a 2.6.22 or earlier kernel if you're experiencing slower speeds. I believe it could have something to do with the new memory allocation placed into the more recent kernels.
