I find that amazing, on any size machine, and certainly not on any class
of box I can afford.
For what it's worth the only time vmware got anywhere near win4lin &
native was in a very long MathCad7 calc ( a multi-variable, many point
Runge-Kutta), which presumably is in a tight loop of ring-3 code which
doesn't need virtualising.
