Without this, if you do anything I/O intensive on the host machine (e.g. an rdiff backup) then the guest OS pretty much friezes. With the CFQ scheduler it still gets pretty bad, but better than with AS. I think this is some sort of bug with VMWare but they have yet to fix it. Hope this helps, -- George Borisov DXSolutions Ltd
