Make sure you set 2 CPUs (I find it spreads the high CPU load you often get over two cores - if you have them) and that Adaptive Hypervisor seems to do something (off by default)

Interesting bit about the HyperVisor. Mine is currently disabled and I am only using 1 core (I have 4) for my VM's. Everything runs smoothly. I was quite pleased to find that "Team Fortress 2" on my WinXP VM runs much better and there are less video artifacts than with PD3. I do notice that my Win2K VM takes a little longer to boot, maybe all of them do, but the performance I am experiencing with this unoptimized setup has me very pleased.
Also, I am not using a BootCamp partition on any of my VM's, but I do have a BootCamp partition installed.

My installation went very smoothly. Now it takes about 1 1/2 minutes to load up Vista in my VM where before it seemed to take several minutes more than that. I can't say that Excel comes up slower or faster, but lean toward faster. I think 4.0 is a great upgrade from Parallels 3.0.
That's my understanding.
I personally found that in Window mode, Parallels was much slower than version 3. So I went down to two and we'll see how that goes; others have found two to be good. When running in the background, parallels seemed to interfere with the keyboard. Overall I'm pretty unimpressed and wish I'd stayed with 3.
