Does anyone know if that big performance effect is also noticeable while running a couple of VMs?

I have those dreaded pauses when my VMs(typically 2 at a time) are busy doing something and I decide to untar a file for example. Does anyone have a similar problem?

I still run on a 32bit environment so use only 3GB of ram.



It sounds a lot like you're out of CPUs (from the 3-GB limit I'm guessing you're on a Core Duo MacBook), not disk-IO.


No, I'm on a desktop that i put together. The 32bit limitation is because I use Ubuntu and there were some reports of misbehaving apps under 64bits....
