Ok I have a MBP Mid 2010 with VMware 3.0 and Windows 7 64bit is installed in my bootcamp.
If I'm reading your post correctly, you're using your Boot Camp partition with Windows 7 as a virtual machine? In other words, you virtualized your Windows 7 partition? If that's true, then:

1. Virtualizing a Boot Camp partition does cause slow downs.

2. I don't believe VMWare 3 is optimized for 64 bit Windows. Upgrade to version 4.0 which is.
