Here's another one, that I got from another admin talking to VMware: watch out just how many virtual CPUs you assign to each VM. If you've assigned 4, it is actually going to sit there waiting until it gets 4 virtual CPUs. As of '09, VMware was recommending assigning 2.
This is no longer true [1], but it's still a good idea to only assign as many CPUs as you need.

Ah, thanks! Yeah, the problem was with overcommitting. Glad to hear that's solved.
