Hi,
Your English is fine
I think we already chatted on twitter?
Like I said on twitter, this certainly is not expected performance. Vimalin does its work in the background as it is designed to not disturb any running virtual machines, so it doesn't try to copy at an increased priority. On macOS the copy process literally uses the /bin/cp command for all the files it copies.
If you would copy the VM from the command line, then it should take about the same amount of time.
Note though that Vimalin does extra things like that it hashes all files it copies, so that it can guarantee the files are OK when restoring, so it is not unexpected to be a bit slower, but not that much slower. It also uses VMware snapshot technology (create/commit snapshots) when the VM is running so that it can copy the VM's files.
The config of your VM sounds fine.
Can you please email me the support bundle?
Based on that I can give better tips on what to change or see why it is taking so long.
You can create a support bundle from the help menu -> Create Support Bundle.
That should place a .gz file on your desktop which you can then email to support@vimalin.com and I will take a look at it.
