VPC lethargic performance R7X64

Facts:
We have recently installed Windows R7(SP0)X64 on a Dell E6400 laptop with
4GBytes of RAM and a 320 GByte (7200 RPM) disk drive. We then installed the
latest version VPC for R7 and the integration components. The performance of
the VPC (particularly User I/O) is lethargic at best. Even logging into the
VPC is (four keystrokes and then wait for the characters to appear) a
tiresome exercise.

Connecting from another computer via MSTSC performance is better once you
one gets past the login screen. Doing the same thing from the R7 host results
in dismal performance again. I have tried both XP mode and the a clean XP
install. XP was given 1024 Mbytes of RAM.

On the same hardware (same machine actually):
R7(SP0)X64 and VPC for R7, performance is dismal.
R7(SP0)X64 and VPC 2007, performance is Excellent.
R7(RC)X32 and VPC for R7, performance is acceptable (but lags behind VPC
2007).
R7(RC)X32 and VPC 2007, performance is Excellent.
These were all clean installs without AntiVirus, applications, etc.


These were not tried on the same hardware by are noted to put things in
perspective.
XP64 and VPC 2007, performance is excellent.
XP32(SP3) and VPC 2007 is excellent.
R7(RC)X64 and VMWare Workstation, performance is Excellent.

Question:
Have anyone else noticed this phenomena ?
Could this be a result of the "integration" into the R7 Desktop ?
