Thanks In the end I increased allocation of the to core processors on fusion to 4 out of the a8 available on my iMac. this has seemed to resolved matters for the moment.
I did not intend to allocate so much of the Mac resources to Fusion but it should not matter provided I close Fusion after using it. I use DropBox for interconnectivity between platforms and devices witch works well so the need to have Fusion running in the background should be reduced.
