I've noticed recently that virtual machine disks tends to be REALLY
slow. Since binarization is all IO bound, that may severely affect the
speed. Try binarizing on a real pc and see how it goes.
Also, check that you haven't been beaten by this VMWare bug:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=51306
For comparison, the de-en in the example models I created
http://www.statmt.org/moses/RELEASE-0.91/de-en/model/phrase-table.1.bin/
took 10 hours, and that while running about 20 binarizations simultaneously.
