What are your PC specs? Give it some more specifications and make sure you don't have a lot of things running on your computer which can use a lot of resources.

i don't have any apps running on my PC which reduce the perfomance. My PC can run 3 android emulators + 1 Ubuntu virtual machine at the same time. what is your virtual machine settings?

Can you try setting VMWare's priority to 'High' on task manager?

 

I also noticed lag on Yosemite when Mavericks worked like a charm!

i set VMWare's priority to 'High' on task manager but it still not helping. Yosemite laaaags a lot like an old PC running Windows XP. i think it's 128 MB VRAM problem but i can't activate 3D graphic acceleration because it is not supported by this guest.

Do you want to try Mavericks? It was way faster for me.

yes i will try it instead. can you give me a download link of mavericks dmg file or the virtual machine?

 

My PC can run Yosemite and it's running fast becasue Yosemite support Nvidia but it always freeze after 5 minutes so that's why i need Mac OS X on a virtual machine.

This is the one I used: http://themobilebay.org/torrent/9012642/OS+X+Mavericks+10.9+Retail+VMware+Image

 

You can even update it to Yosemite through the app store.
