An annoying sign of ena bled unity is GuestAppsCache or caches folder with a large number of files in it s appData-subfolder. In order to disable it for your VM, open your .vmx file in a text editor and add the following line: isolation.tools.unity.disable="TRUE" unity.allowCompositingInGuest="FALSE" unity.enableLaunchMenu = "FALSE" unity.showBadges = "FALSE" unity.showBorders = "FALSE" unity.wasCapable = "FALSE" Tweak: Disk & Memory I/O Performance Optimization http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=display KC&externalId=1008885 Disable memory trimming: MemTrimRate = "0" Disable page sharing: sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE" Disable snapshots if you are not using them and prefer full backups: snapshot.disabled = "TRUE" Disable scale down of memory allocation: MemAllowAutoScaleDown = "FALSE"
