I am getting extremely high disk usage on my computer when running my virtual machine which is causing the vm to slow to a crawl. The native OS is Windows 8.1. The vm is Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit running in vmware workstation. My drive has 409 GB free out of ~650, 8GB RAM, and quad core i7 processor. I dedicated 4 GB RAM, 75 GB HDD, and 2 processors (2 cores per processor) to the vm. Does anyone know why I might be getting this high disk usage. Hard drive is not SSD. I check the performance panel in Windows task manager and Memory (RAM) is at 5.3 / 8 GB with vm powered up.
