try to add this here - may not work for all parameter. |

prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100" |
fit memory into RAM Whenever possible avoid settings lower 100% |
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "50" |
allow some memory to be swapped |
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "25" |
allow most memory to be swapped |
prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = "1272" |
sets the maximum amount of RAM that can be used by VMs- |
mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "true" |
restore snapshots in background - |
mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "false" |
do not restore snapshots in background |
mainMem.partialLazySave = "true" |
take snapshots in background |
mainMem.partialLazySave = "false" |
do not take snapshots in background |
mainMem.useNamedFile = "true" |
creates a file the size of nominal RAM in working
directory |
mainMem.useNamedFile = "false" |

prevent swapping on a windows-host |
