VMware makes virtual machines on your machine, it "shares" resources along with
the host operating system.
When starting windows you MUST make sure that it has access to /dev/rtc if it
does not windows will be slow if it will start at all.
As to VMware being slow, i cant say how slow your system is you make no mention
of the machine used or how much RAM you have, you need "at least" 96M to start
a virtual machine.
A good way to speed up the virtual machine running windows is to allow it more
RAM in the configuration wizard.
You can use the program 'nice' to give vmware more priority.
I am quite staisfied about speed here however i have 192M of RAM, a 650MHZ P111
(intel) and many different disk's both IDE and SCSI.
I can run win98, bsd, and redhat all under my slackware-7.1 system, of course
speed is decreased by every virtual machine.
I would imagen a sound editor under windows needs a lot of CPU to operate even
under a stand alone windows machine, if that is so then of course all programs
of that caliber WILL be slow.

I have not used wine for ages so i cant comment, i bet Lawson will do so tho'
he uses wine.

Read the "Getting-started" file which you should have a copy of it does give
many handy tips. It comes with VMware.
