Hi Guys,
Here is another tip that can improve the VMware disk I/O performance.
Page sharing decreases host memory usage, but consumes system resources, potentially including I/O bandwidth.
You may want to avoid this overhead for guests for which host memory is plentiful and I/O latency is important. To disable page sharing, add the following line to the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file:
sched.mem.pshare.enable=FALSE option
