vmd prints a message about the detected graphics into the console window.
please cut and paste.

if you have slow graphics chip, there is little that you can do.
if it is misconfigured, you need to fix it.
chances are, that you have intel chipset graphics,
and those are slow. how slow also depends a lot
on how complex a visualization you have.
please provide an example.
cheers,
axel.
