Anyone Running PT4 on Parallels?

I just got done with my HM2 trial and it worked flawlessly on 1GB assigned to my windows 7 virtual machine. I've heard to try both as PT4 has its perks so I tried to download the trial and it runs UNBELIEVABLY slow. My actual tables are way too slow to even play, much less multi table. I tried upping the GB into 3GB, more than recommended but that was catastrophic.
I heard HM2 was more of a resource hog than PT4 but PT4 says I need more than 1GB of RAM on startup and boy they are not lying. PT3 even works fine but it doesn't have preferred seating so I obviously can't use PT3.
Anyone else have the same problem?
Edit: If this belongs in regular internet poker, a mod can move it. I put it in WPN because I wonder if it's a WPN problem considering that PT4 still has WPN on the Yatahay network.

Yatahay was the old name of the network from around three years ago. Could be even longer.
