Hi,

Interesting..
So for curiosities sake I have run a quick test down here as well.

Used an old VM, Windows Vista.. 32 bit (very old), virtual hardware set to version 9, 1 GB RAM and 3D enabled. I don't think that the old virtual hardware is relevant here, just mentioning the detail in case it matters.

On VMware Fusion 12.1 on a host running macOS 11.3 beta, the VM starts out at 1.2GB.. that then steadily climbs up to 2.13GB where the climbing stops. This took about 30 minutes (rough estimate)

I then suspended that VM and dragged it over to a macOS Mojave that has VMware Fusion 11.5.7, resumed that same VM... it starts out at using 1.2GB of RAM and does not increase at all. It stays put at 1.2GB

So yeah, I think that's not expected.

Perhaps @Mikero can get this looked into? Especially with most apple devices being a little low on RAM this is an issue.
