Change Parallels Desktop 1.0's caching strategy
Authored by: stimpy on Jun 29, '06 12:05:34AM

My biggest problem with Parallels is that when compiling code using Visual Studio 2003, it is unbearably slow. I can't use shared folders since they are case sensitive so I'm using smb sharing, but I've heard that shared folders are slow too. Are there others in the same situation? Has anyone tried creating a shared FAT32 partition to share between OS X and parallels?

How much RAM do you have in your system? I bumped mine to 2GB and give XP 512MB and it seems to work pretty good. I am using Visual Studio 2005. If you only have 512MB n your Mac consider upgrading to the max.
