I just checked specs and settings. I made 1 change...graphics memory. From 256mb to 1024mb. This could be one of my problems. "sluggish drawing" is the most noticeable issue. Things take for ever to appear when flipping pages and between applications. Tonight i will do some work that would normally be super slow and see if anything has changed.
Model Name:MacBook Pro Retina 15" Early 2013
Model Identifier:MacBookPro10,1
Processor Name:Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:2.8 GHz
Storage: 750GB SSD
Number of Processors:1
Total Number of Cores:4
L2 Cache (per Core):256 KB
L3 Cache:8 MB
Memory:16 GB
Then i checked the VMWare settings.
Ram (16GB) was split 50-50 so 8GB for Windows and 8GB for Mac.
Graphics memory was set at 256mb. I changed it to 1024mb (recommended out of 2048mb).
Processor was set to 4 (out of 8).
I don't understand how the specs say 4 core and VMWare shows 8.
You have one fantastic machine there. So the machine can handle what you throw at it. So hopefully changing that setting will help out.
The Intel i# have 4 physical cores, but shows 8 cores. 4 for the physical and 4 for the virtual cores.
Heres something for you to consider. Make a bootcamp for the Windows OS. Then you'll be able to point the VMware to that. Basically you'll be allow to run Windows 100% (via bootcamp). Which means the Mac OS won't be running. Or you could running it on the VMware, so the Mac OS will be running too.
