I run Delphi /2007, XE and Sidney) inside a VMWare VM since "forever" and I'm very happy with the speed. One setting that made a lot of difference (speed wise) for me is "disable memory page trimming". In my case, the virtual disk image is on a SSD and all hard disks are configured as "independent".

For backups it is better to use split files.

That's true if your backup target drive is fat32, which doesn't support files > 4GB. 

 

Otherwise I would be more comfortable with one big disk file (which I use).

Splitting is useful if you use for backup something that compares the files and only overwrite those that changed.

One thing I don't like Hyper-V was that its always using host's DPI settings (e.g. under Full Screen mode),  if the host DPI is set to 125%,  you can't change Hyper-V to use other DPI settings.  so I switched back to VMware.
