Hi! I just want to tell you that I experience similar problems with vmware-player. I'm currently on kernel 2.6.32. The guest system is a Ubuntu with an Oracle Express database (used for a database lecture I'm taking). The system feels like it swaps out the complete host system when I switch to the guest system and vice versa although there is plenty of free memory. It is so bad that the system becomes completely unusable for more than 15 minutes. I didn't investigate it yet because I don't really need that guest OS. Regards, Florian Philipp
