In my experience with VMware, the virtual machine always took a long time to shut down depending on how you trigger the shut down. I never really bothered to find out how or why.
What I mean is that the VM shuts down, but there is a long pause of apparently "nothing" (writing data to the disk) where controls are locked and trying to close VMware brings up a message that the VM is busy.
On my notebook this always happens with VMs stored on the external HD, but I haven't checked if it also occurs if stored on the actual notebook's hd (all things considered, I wouldn't be surprised if it does).
I can't check this anyway since I'm not going anywhere with 8GB of disk space free. :V
