I think you will find that MacFUSE 2.0 is a framework - in itself it doesn't provide any functionality that would drastically slow your hard drive. The problem is more likely with vmware fusion or perhaps NTFS-3g and you should take it up with them as to why their IO kills your computer's performance. You really need to provide more information about how things are configured for anyone to realistically help you, e.g. are you downloading from within the XP box? How is it "shared"? In the case that I'm thinking of, vmware is providing some form of folder sharing operation which means you have 1) the data coming in from the net 2) the vm writing it virtually to a location that vmware probably haven't optimised well unlike their native disk drivers 3) vmware then writes it to macfuse (a minor trip through the vfs layer skipped here) 4) macfuse then switches out to user mode to get ntfs-3g or similar to handle the write 5) it then pushes data onto the underlying disk. Each of these transitions will probably require a context switch (some more) which leads to all sorts of nasty performance issues. But thats life with virtualisation.
