Windows Xp On Vmware (on Mac Leopard)… Fast Or Slow???

I’m thinking of buying XP to run on VMware on my mac. I was wondering if it runs really slowly, or fast (almost native)???
Thanks!

    It runs pretty fast. You won’t notice much of a difference. VMWare is sweet. Also try VirtualBox, KVM, and Xen.

    It will run decent depending on how powerful u make your virtual machine and how powerful u can make it depending on the host.
    Personally I would never install windows on a mac, but if u must then why not use parallels? Its way better than vmware and its for Mac OS X only.

    Software can’t compete with hardware, if you want to run XP on your Mac I suggest you do it natively with bootcamp.
