These benchmarks demonstrate the marked difference when running VMware
on Feisty.

** Note **
I am not suggesting this problem is VMware related, since the performance 
degradation is observable on a box with no VMware running (ie, no load at all). 
Running VMware is the role of these servers however, and is one of the easiest 
ways to load up the box with a real world load.
