VMWare Fusion has poor performance. I don't know how they do this
reach-through
stuff, but I tried Counter Strike 1.6 (very old for those who don't know
it)
through VMWare (Workstation - same 3D Support as Fusion) and the game has
really 
poor performance. No OpenGL at all, and D3D does not work properly.
Software 
mode is working, but laggy, slow and ugly. If I remember right they convert

D3D 8 into OpenGL, and are still using a virtual graphics adapter instead
of 
reaching it through to the host. This seems with my very basic knowledge
still 
a non-performance solution...
