OS X guest keyboard lag (fusion 7.1.1)

I've just installed a yosemite guest OS on a Yosemite host OS.  There's a consierable lag on key press in the VM, maybe close to one second, which is obviously making it unusable.

I've installed the VM ware tools.  I'm running full screen on a single external display on a mac mini.  The CPU activity on both host and guest (in Activity Monitor) is fairly low.  I've tried a few different configurations in terms of the amount of Ram and CPUs assigned to the guest OS, but no change has had any effect on keyboard lag.

The host has 4 cores and 8GB ram.  My current configuration is for 4GB RAM and 2 core assigned to the guest OS.  I've turned on 3D acceleration, but other than that haven't touched any other settings.

Is this keyboard lag expected/unavoidable?
