    The performance for my Windows XP bootcamp VM on Paralles 5 is slow. But, I found out today I can really improve the performance by dragging the title bar around for the VM window. It becomes really snappy. Anybody else seen this behavior and have an idea how to improve the performance?

    Perhaps a similar issue

    Hi,

    I might be seeing a similar issue.
    I have a slow performance problem that gets fixed by maximizing the window of the application inside the VM.
    After I do that, the VM works fine even if I go back to a smaller window.
    It seems that the trigger for the slow performance, in my case, is using the window scrolling handle.
    There are more details in the following post:
