It used to work perfectly well but at some point it became almost unusable - I'm running Windows 8.1 guest on Ubuntu 14.10 host (vmplayer 7.0, attaching about screenshot). It is i7 with 8 gigs of ram, 2x SSD (windows guest on dedicated SSD), nVidia NVS 5400M, original nvidia driver). At some point cpu usage increases dramatically without me doing anything in guest and just stays high. It's impossible to use host or guest (I can't even switch KDE or Windows' windows, the graphical UI just freezes). Even if I try to SSH to the machine, it is also horribly slow (it takes an minute to login). TOP reveals vmware-vmx and xorg cpu usage very high. If I strace, I can see many "resource temporarily unavailable" errors, I guess that could be the reason for lockups (see attached files) Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? :-S
