Well title sais it. Using VMware workstation instead of VMware server console, makes your VM consume less resources regarding java apps.
While in the past single VM on server console running runescape consumed about 90%cpu (which in my guess was due to display adapters). On VMware workstation my guest system has as much CPU load as i was running single runescape client on my host which is only 30% load.
Ive already cloned my current VM, both WinXP both on about 512ram and still cant tell the difference between guest and host.

If you had problems running VMware server before, i suggest you try workstation.
Installation is identical to Virtual Machines
VMware workstation is not a freeware, if you cant manage to find a working copy, ill post one.

VM server is a free version described in tutorial i linked above. As i didnt find any mention of vm workstation i assume server is what most people use.
