It must slow down both operating systems. VMware splits up memory between
the two systems and shares processor time. Even with nothing running in linux
there are a number of daemons and processes going on behind the scenes.

I've run Vector 9.0 and Cadkey using VMware for a little while now. I haven't
compared speeds but I haven't felt speed was a constraint. It is not seamless
though, probably more due to my lack of knowledge setting up VMware than
anything.

I'm running a 1 GHz PIII with 256M.
