Can you provide some details on what tests you ran to determine the
performance ? even if its just a few simple things, I'd like to know so
we can see where the problem might be.

I'm running CentOS on vmware-server, not ESX, and have had no real
issues except the time loosing-sync, which is a vmware issue more than a
CentOS issue ( and there are a lot of fix's for it hanging around ).
