I finally came across a thread that sounds similar to that, but the issue was
the host OS CPU was being throttled down.
I did finally complete a Dapper text-only install, so it seems I may have not
been waiting long enough. It took two hours. After, even with VMWare tools,
my X session would 'hang' for five to thirty seconds on occasion with the
host OS idle and the guest doing simple things like opening Konsole windows.
I think my laptop is simply too slow, although I had no issues doing this
ages ago with VMWare on a much slower laptop with less RAM and VMWare 2.x or
3.x. Oh well.
I hate dual booting, but I guess that's what I'll have to do. (As opposed to
buying a new, much faster laptop.)
