[openbeos] Boot time benchmark Vmware vs. Parallels

I've used both disk images rev19482 for Vmware and Parallels (for OS X
Intel) and used the exact same settings and virtual hardware for both
virtual machines.
CD-Rom drive, physical
The hard disk images
Ethernet
256mb of RAM
Cold booting each system five times, the average boot times were:
Parallels build 3036: 25 secs
Vmware Fusion 33141: 9 secs
Test system: MacBook, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1.5gb RAM, OS X 10.4.8
There seems to be quite a difference in performance, with Vmware booting
nearly 3x as fast, and as I mentioned before, it generally feels much
snappier than emulation in Parallels.
