I am also in the process of setting up a CentOS 5 box to run VMware server.

I was looking around on the web and found some posts(can't remember where) regarding VMware Server running on Linux and problems with "pdflush". Essentially the issue was there were claims that in this configuration "pdflush" starts pegging the systems CPU and makes the performance pretty miserable. Anyone seen this or does this sound familiar?

I don't remember that one, but I did see someone report a big performance increase by not running LVM on the VM disk image. Has anyone else noticed this?
