It seams to me that the VM's( vmware-vmx.exe) does not have the correct priority or something.
When BOINC is running tasks, the VMX gets CPU starved. If I turn off BOINC(Snooze) everything speeds up.
Given that all the BOINC Tasks have "Low" priority and the vmx tasks have "Normal" this should not be.
Does someone have someone insight ???
Thanks

P.S. It has been a problem on prior version as well..
