Nah, VMware Player and VMware Workstation use the exact same engine.

If you are having performance problems with VMware Player and are using either AVG of Avast antivirus then the problem might be the antivirus. See also [0]

I was very curious so I read through that thread.

One person found that turning Avast's Behavior Shield off helped.

But with AVG... wow. AVG ships with a disabled-by-default "Use HW assisted virtualization" option buried in its settings. As in, install AVG and it turns that off systemwide until you turn it back on. Yay!
