    For some reason lately, whenever I start up my Vista VM from a suspended state, after it loads (whatever the screen looked like before) it takes a really long time - 5-10 minutes usually - just to respond to my actions. Then it's a little slow for a minute or two, then works fine. I don't know what changed, I've used Parallels for months without issue, same habits as always (like putting the VM in suspend when I quit, etc.). I even upgraded to 4 GB of RAM so I doubt it's a memory issue.

    And I don't think it's a completely consistent problem - the other day, I opened from a suspended state to a Blue Screen of Death (forget why, I probably just screwed something up), and it responded immediately, so I have a feeling it has something to do with Windows in its open state.
