In fact, where I was working earlier this year, they had several long phone calls with VMware's support, who advised them explicitly to allocate as few cores as possible, because one VM might wait a *lot* longer if it was looking for 4 or 8 cores, while other VMs were using several, whereas if it only wanted 2, or 1, it would get its time slice a lot sooner. mark
