    I have been running parallels for a long time now on my mac, I think since version 6 or so.
    However, after installing v10 i'ts no fun anymore, Windows (and other guest OS's) are SLOW, I mean it's like working in syrup.
    It was running fine in v9, I've tried most settings in v10 without much success.

    I have it on several mac's and even though it's not as bad on all of them (different hardware on them as well) I have to say it seems that v10 just is not working well for me.

    Time to downgrade? Other suggestions?

    Hardware wise I'm good enough for what I need and much more (i7 proc, 16GB ram)

    I already run 6gb RAM for the virtual machine.

    yesterday I downgraded to v9 and it's way faster again.
