[Eeglablist] EEGlab on a VMware image

[arno]

Dear Hamish,

there is indeed a drop in performance when you are running WMware 
because Linux becomes a Windows process (and so it has to compete for 
Processor resources with other windows processes). It is not worth 
running it for binica() only which can only make you gain about 25% time 
(it used to be the case that you could gain 100% or more by running the 
C version (Matlab 5.3) but it is not the case any more with Matlab 7).

Best regards,

Arno
