I actually haven't used it, I just know it exists. :-)
As far as performance goes, well... I'm kinda of the mind, "If you were
worried about performance, you wouldn't be using VMware". ;-)

Hey, if it works... the only real advantage to the VMware feature is a disk
space savings.

I've used it. It works as well as Windows normally works during
suspend/resume, which is to say, not very. It takes a long time to suspend to
disk, likely as much time as a slim Windows config would take to boot. Resumes
are reasonably quick. YMMV.
