Hi Richard -
I'm by no means an expert, but I do use VPC 7. I don't know that there is
much you can do other than limiting the number of active processes as much
as possible - i.e., don't leave Word running while using Access. My
understanding is that each VPC is allocated 512 MB RAM, so even increasing
that won't help (unless you're using other apps in OS X at the same time).
But even if you tweak VPC as much as possible your real bottleneck is the
800 MHz processor & the rest of the G4 architecture. I run on a Dual 2GHz
G5
with very clean VPC configs & speed is still an issue for me... tolerable,
but not acceptable for business use on a regular basis.
There is a separate newsgroup for VPC, so you might inquire there for more
knowledgeable sources:
