VMFusion 8 with Windows 7 64 bit high CPU Utilisation

Hi,

My new VMFusion 8 install running a single VM of the awful work laptop runs my CPU at a value that constantly fluctuates between 15 and 255%.

I had a solution when it was in VMFusion 7 of blocking the caches, Apps and appListCaches and setting the host option to 'False' in the .vmdk file.

With VM 8 this doesn't work and all the articles and talk of reducing the CPU utilisation fails.

Can VM or anyone help me out here as this kills the battery life on my MacBook Air!

All other setting are default, all CPUs are set as requested and there are no USB devices connected or auto-snapshot running.

Thanks.
