[Asterisk-Users] Again Asterisk and VMWare - it works now!

[Carlos Eduardo Cremon]

  Dan,

What type of "virtual harddisk" did you create in your linux vmware 
virtual machine? As far as I know, the default type is a kind of 
compressed harddisk image, to save disk space in the host machine. 
Perhaps that is the answer to have bad performance only in local 
services, opening local files in vmware: the overhead to decompress.

-Eduardo
