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 10.4.8There 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.
