I had un-set Fusion's shared drive option and accessed my Mac's home directory using Windows sharing on the Mac.
#Parallels for mac running slow Pc#
When the file is in the VMware virtual disk or on a real PC share, it is quite speedy to open. I then re-tried my open the big file experiment. I originally installed Fusion's VMware tools on top of whatever had been pre-installed in the can I copied. I upgraded it to Hardware Version 6 as documented in the help. I should note that this VM was created from a Hardware Version 4 can from my corporate network, created I think with a PC Workstation instance. I un-installed and then re-installed VMware tools. Sorry to keep replying to my post, but I am discovering some more weirdness. Maybe this can be improved in the next Fusion release. Mapping the share to a drive doesn't help. Is this common experience - really slow shared folders?Īny advice to speed things up? I tried to use Windows file sharing from my Mac rather than Fusion shared folders and it was no better - might have even been worse. If I copy the file to my virtual disk, and double click the copy, things are very speedy but I want to keep my files where my Mac subversion client can access them. But Parallels could handle files of this size. The file is a 15 meg file so that is a factor.
With Fusion I seem to have to wait 3 or 4 times as long for a double click to have the app open the file.
With Parallels, it was slow but usable to double click a file in a shared folder and have the Windows app open it. I keep my subversion check-out for a company project on my Mac file system and some of the files are Windows-only binaries - discrete event simulation files for the product Extend.
One thing I was disappointed with in Parallels was the speed at which file reads and writes from a shared folder happened. I was a mostly satisfied user of Parallels (version 2.5) but I bought the early bird special license for Fusion and have been trying it out the past few days.
