Heavy stuttering when using VM, cannot find the reason

Hey there DB team,
I recently bought a new machine and I setup everything according to the db/vmware guide and when I play manually the game runs absolutely fluid once I combine it with DB it will start to stutter extremely upon going into combat. In fact it is stuttering so hard the bot can hardly fight at all.

Specs:
i7-3770k, 32gb ram, SSD 500 R/W, nvidia 670 evega

For the VM I run workstation 8.X, "PVN" HMA Pro, a slim version of Windows 7
specs for the vm: 2gb memory, 1 processor.

The Cpupower inside the VM does not even show 30% load when it starts stuttering, 3d acceleration is turned on. Sound/Printer/DVD/Floppy is all turned off.

The DB logs show nothing suspicious at all, the profiles don't matter much either they all freeze, tried WD and DH, both stutter, using belphegor or generic. It doesn't matter if I run DB centralized on VMHost or directly via the VM.
Pagefile is off...
Nothing I do matters, reinstalled via DBwizard and nothing positive came out of it.

Where can I look further, what might be causing those problems? Everything is freshly installed so I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate help from the team :)
 
In case someone runs into the same problems with VMware, the solution was to simply put diablo in above average priority. I don't know why it makes a difference ( given the cpu wasn't even heavily loaded ) but it did.
