Agreed, but testing something on vmware is a likely first step toward production and bad performance on the first look can warp your opinions.
And blaming the OS being installed or the installer itself in such circumstances is less than logical; the first thing to investigate is the virtual environment being used.
I'm not sure I'd go that far when using a different installer (or avoiding LVM) in the same environment gives vastly better results. Even if some quirk of the low level environment really turns out to be responsible its not necessarily the logical thing to check first.
