What addons / toolkits do you have installed? I'm specifically thinking of any VI Packages that use the Project Provider Framework since if they perform poorly it impacts the IDE experience, especially in the Project Window or when right-clicking.
4Gb / 4 cores is often sufficient for basic development without any of the memory-hungry toolkits; 8Gb is better. When I was talking memory reservation I was thinking of a VMWare WorkStation setting that defines how the host allocates memory for the VM (whether it fits it entirely into RAM, swaps some etc.). Since you are using Player, I don't believe this option is available to you.
I did a quick trial with my existing disk image but a new VM using 4 cores instead of 2. So far this seems to help a LOT. Thank You!
