Just a thought, might be irrelevant: You’ve left your host operating
system too short on RAM, only left it 400Mb = 13%, so it will strangle.
The recommended levels for the VM are a far smaller fraction of the
whole RAM.

I don’t recommend that you sign your virtual machine more than half of
your system’s RAM.
What processes are there running on both your Linux host and Windows
guest that are using any significant amount of CPU? My Windows guest
suffers from the ‘100% CPU utilisation by svchost.exe bug’ every time I
open it up and try to access something that goes online (it’s only
Windows, I can’t be bothered to work out why it does it).

Yes, I have a simalar configuration and the same problem like joris20.
My vmware workstation runs on a MS Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. When
I start openSuse 11.1 in my VM, the cpu runs lie a mad and hangs my
server. Windows Task Manager shows that th vmware workstations blocks
all cpu’s recources. Often I can switch off my server, only.
On a second view I found out to switch off the my anti-virus program
while openSuSE 11.1 boots. Abfter booting the linux I switch my
anti-virus on, again. That my helps for a while but it doesn’t solve the
problem.
Either openSuSE or VW worstation 6.5 has a bug. It is unnormal.
Hi
Can’t you set vmware to be a exception not to scan by the anti-virus
program?
I don’t believe it’s a bug in either vmware or openSUSE. If you think
it is, post a bug report in the appropriate places for vmware and
bugzilla for openSUSE.

I run VMware 5.9 inside Linux. In other words Linux is the host. In
running Windows inside VMware I have noticed that it is slower if I am
using KDE4. Try switching to KDE3, it is faster.
