I've recently upgraded my system (first to build 5600 and a few days later to 10.5.3) and I've encountered two problems while running an XP SP3 guest:
1. Windows is unable to find a driver for iSight -- I've tried to reinstall parallels tools, but it doesn't help (I don't think it has much to do with the 10.5.3 update).
2. The system 'stutters' -- even when running lightweight applications, the system suddenly becomes slow and unresponsive and the screen update (e.g., when going over menu items or switching windows) is not functioning properly. All of this lasts a few minutes and then disappears. I haven't experienced it before the 10.5.3 update, so it must be related.
The system used is MBP 2.4Ghz (March 2008 revision, 3MB cache) -- 2GB memory, GeForce 8600M GT (256MB VRAM).
