Performance issue on Linux

[Tykhon Tarnavsky]

Hi all.

I installed VMW 17.5 on a Linux host (Debian 12; it's listed in 17.5's supported Linux distros) and created a Windows 10 virtual machine to run Citrix Workspace (unfortunately, it doesn't have a Linux version).

It works slow. I mean, from noticeably slow to extremely slow.

I have a VirtualBox VM with the same setup - and it's significantly faster. The same operation on the same Citrix remote system could take half a second inside VB and 1.5-4 seconds in VMW.

Otherwise, VMW is better. It's more stable and less resource-hungry on my local machine. But this slowness is a game-changer. Any advice on how to get rid of it?

It appears it does now (released in June 2024). In case someone else needs it in the future:

I think this closes the topic. If I encounter other performance issues (not Citrix-related), I'll create a new topic here.
