    I have a few questions regarding this new version. Hopefully some of the early adopters can answer them :)

    First hows the system resource usage better/same/worse then 2.5

    Second is anything installed on the osx side to allow coherence. I'm concerned that by installing parallels I'll be effect OSX's stability

    Third using coherence does it degrade over all performance and/or suck up resources

    Finally as a sub point/question to #3 is there a way to turn off coherence so it doesn't suck up resources.

    Thanks

    1) System resource appear to be better than 2.5. CPU usage when idle certainly is.

    2) I don't think anything extra is installed for coherence above what the parallels installer does.

    3) There doesn't seem to be performance hit when you enable coherence.

    4) If you dont click the icon, or menu item, then coherence will not be enabled.
