When creating new VMX files, edit the vmx file and add:
logging = FALSE // disable all VMX logging
vmx.scoreboard.enabled = "FALSE" // disable creation of scoreboard files
mainmem.useNamedFile = "false" // disable creating pagefile on windows host
mainmem.backing = "swap" // disable creating swap file on linux host
When using a virtual ethernet device, it can be upgraded to use vmxnet3 instead of e1000e to be a little bit faster:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" // default is e1000e, which is slower
