Perhaps it is related to TRIM. Remember that the host's OS does not know what parts of the virtual disk are unused so it can't pass TRIM for them to the SSD but if you compact the virtual disk TRIM happens to the host's SSD. It would be nice if Workstation allowed us to use its own file system on raw partitions to let it could pass the virtual TRIM from the guest to the host OS. (VMFS on raw partition maybe) Is it that different from VAAI sending UNMAP to a SAN on ESXi? We need that enterprise technology put into Workstation.
