Are you stuck/required to use Vista?   Why not [continue to] use XP? 

But, as often works, why not simply max out the memory anyway, as the 
suggestion eludes to?   It could help.  It certainly couldn't hurt.  That 
is, unless you have maxed it out already (at least to what VMWare will 
accept). 

Are you running the latest version of VMWare?  If not, maybe a newer 
version will offer better performance?
