You mention the word "years" of using Fusion...several years on the same computer? Migrating to Mavericks when going to Fusion 6 at the same time?

I had numerous issues with a 2010 MBP running Win7 Guest after doing those same upgrades (previous upgrades from Fusion 3 and 4, plus other upgrades to OS X, no issues). I did improve things by doing "Prevent App Nap" (Finder icon for Fusion, Get Info), removing all shared folders, and also reducing the memory and processors assigned to the VM. Previously, I allocated 2048 MB of my 4 GB as well as 2 of 4 processor cores to the guest, but once running in Mavericks/Fusion 6, I went down to 1024MB and 1 processor core for the guest, and things improved dramatically.

I did since get a new MBP and things are amazingly faster, but the above is strictly as things were configured on my older Mac.
