Howdy,
I'm running an Arch VM on a Windows 11 PC with VMware. I'm experiencing significant and non-regular input lag.
It takes me about 3-4 seconds to type `sudo pacman -Syu` and it takes about 19 seconds for the command to populate in the terminal. Sometimes characters populate at regular speed, or faster, and sometimes they are all super slow.
Environment:
Arch Linux (no GUI)
VMware Workstation 20.1.44
4 vCPUs, 3.9GB RAM
Open VM Tools installed and vmtoolsd daemon running
Symptoms:
Commands typed in terminal take seconds to appear.
Inconsistent lag: most often slow, occasionally it catches up.
Diagnostics Performed:
System Resource Usage:
CPU and memory usage appear normal (top output attached).
Disk I/O:
I/O wait times seem normal.
Network Performance:
Stable network connection.
Kernel Messages:
No relevant errors in dmesg that I can see
VMware Tools Logs:
No significant errors in /var/log/vmware-vmsvc.log that pop out.
CPU Features:
Full virtualization support (lscpu looks good).
Running Services:
No conflicting services found (systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running output looks good).
Any insights or suggestions to resolve this input lag would be appreciated.

For clarity :
you have followed/read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware … as_a_guest ?
(top output attached).
no attachments on this forum, you'll have to upload the output somewhere.

Running Services:
No conflicting services found (systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running output looks good).
The systemctl list-units commands don't provide all relevant info , better use something like
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | sort
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Ended up just constructing a new install. Don't know what I did.
