Hi,
I'm having trouble with running VMWare Fusion 6 on my i5 iMac.
I recently did a complete reinstall of the OS, and it is now running a fresh Yosemite with VMWare Fusion 6.0.5.
When running a freshly installed Windows 8.1 image (doing essentially nothing, with no extra apps running) I
see the following:
* vmware-vmx process is constantly at around 100 % (in top)
* Computer becomes extremely sluggish, there is considerable delay even for typing text into TextEdit.
* When I turn off VMWare Fusion, the computer goes back to normal.
(This problem is not new to Yosemite. I have had the same issue on Mavericks and Mountain Lion, and I had
all about given up on running VMWare on the computer, but I had hoped that a complete reinstall might help things)
Computer data:
Mid-2011 iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
4Gb 1333MHz DDR3 (1Gb set to the VM, as suggested by VMWare)
Fusion drive (256 ssd + 2tb)
Is there anything I can do to investigate?
