VM Guest OS takes forever to load

Problem: VM Workstation comes up fast, however, the Guest OS took forever to come up. ~ 18 mins!

Solution: check the memory usage on the menu (VM --> Settings). Make sure the setting is at the recommended memory. Do not go beyond the 'Maximum recommended memory.' They are not kidding when they say 'Memory swapping may occur beyond this size').

Solution: Open the page and switch to designer. Rebuild.
