bad disk performance - many io threads

I'm using workstation player free 14 on ubuntu 16.04.

Running a VM of windows 8 on a regular disk (not ssd). The disk performance seems really bad and at 100% with 14 seconds latencies.

When watching iotop it shows 10+ vmware-vm-thread that are doing io. My guess is that it's thrashing the disk. Is this normal behaviour?
