Below is mine Config for Windows HOST ( Win 7 x64) | PageFile Disabled
MemTrimRate=0
sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE"
prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "TRUE"
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"

hv.enableIfUnlocked = "TRUE"
For Linux Host, i had gathered Data but the performance wasn't that optimal with the below mentioned parameters :- (i used RHEL 5.6/6.0 and Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.1 x64 as HOST --- while applying below parameters)
refvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"
