I don't have the VM image around any more, but I don't remember any unexpected performance problems. The VM was acting as a firewall/DHCP server to a virtual switch on the ESXi system so it wasn't very heavily loaded. I thought I had used the 'Other Linux (64-bit)' profile when I built it, but it could have been the 'Other (64-bit)' profile. I do have a couple questions. Was it ESX that you had the performance problems with and what kind of work load were you running on the system? Tim Donahue
