Please try shutting down your VM and adding the following line to your .vmx file:
mks.noColorHostCursor = "FALSE"
Reports of success/failure on systems seeing the slow cursor issue appreciated.
This seems to be helping at least a bit on a Win7/x64 guest. My host consists of 4 monitors (2 with 1680*1050 / vertical + 2 with 2560*1440 / horizontal).
Before applying the change, every guest-window (i.e. a Windows Explorer) was painfully slow. Now I can move windows such as WinExplorer around freely without problems.
However, if I run Office + a VBA-IDE window (such as Access or Excel), there's a new issue: the VBA-window is still as slow as all other windows used to be. In addition, I can no longer maximize the VBA-IDE by double-clicking the title bar or by clicking the maximize-button - the window will only cover around 2/3 of the respective monitor. I can, however size it to cover the monitor completely. As for child-windows within the IDE, the perf-issue exists there just as bad.
Also, as soon as I open the IDE, other windows (such as Windows Explorer) will again be just as slow.
