Respected community,
Prerequisites:
• Mac mini (Late 2012)
• Dell U2711 (WQHD)
• OS X 10.9.2
• RAM 16 GB
• VMWare Fusion 4.1.4
• Virtual machine: Windows XP SP3
• Main reason for running: Adobe Indesign CS5 + Woodwing (don't advise to switch to Mac version — that's not an option here)
This VM was initially set up within Fusion 3 on the MBP (early 2011) and was used on it with an external monitor until 3 weeks ago it failed to boot (discrete GPU failure). The VM has smoothly undergone upgrading OS from 10.6.8 through 10.7.5 to 10.9, and then copied to the new Mac mini where it resides now. It works OK in a whole (except maybe some strange glitch, when VM settings sheet is not displayed until the whole VM window is resized). I don't need neither Retina display support, nor running multiple VMs simultaneously.
I'd like to understand, whether upgrading to version 6.0.2 will bring any noticeable performance boost.
So far I was able to find only MacNews' benchmarking-wise comparison of version 5 vs. 4, but not that of version 6 vs. 5, set aside 6 vs. 4.
