Max, et al.
I've also found parallels to be clunky a couple of years ago as well. Rumored
that the new version is catching up to VMWare.
Even when VMWare first came out, it was a little slow to boot the OS- aka,
Windows XP.
They've made some great strides since then, so perhaps consider an upgrade or
switch to VMWare.
Aloha,
Keith

I've got Parallels on my iMac also - yes it's too clunky to be useful.
Draftsight is working out great for Cad Dwgs on the Mac, and, again, it's a
free download...

I've been running Parallels on a Mac for 3 years, and I just bought a PC for
the PC stuff. I like my Mac, but after waiting 1/2 an hour to boot and update
everything each time, Parallels is just really clunky.
I like Omnigraffle on my Mac. way better than simpler drawing programs, but not
near as complicated as AutoCad.
I consider it optimal for one line diagrams and simple layout stuff. Its quick
to use.
