Speed up the VMware Workstation 6 Beta

Anyone out there who has tried the VMware Workstation 6 Beta knows that it is so slow that it is almost unusable... much slower than 5.5. The performance problem is largely due to the beta being distributed as a debug build.

Luckily the 4sysops blog has uncovered a way to disable debug mode and claim back some performance points. Basically, all you do is "exchange the bin-debug folder with the bin folder in the directory where you installed VMware Workstation." Once I swapped the folders, I immediately noticed a significant performance improvement... about the same performance as the VMware Workstation 5.5 version that I was using previously.
