Thank you, Link.

I've checked the Archlinux guest - it's clock ~2 times slower. Setting
the "clock=pit" doesn't help.
VMware people suggest to set "clock=pit nosmp noapic nolapic", or to
recompile the guest kernel with CONFIG_HZ=100 (now Archlinux kernel's
config  has CONFIG_HZ=250).

The same thing with FreeBSD, setting "kern.hz=100" in /boot/loader.conf
solves the problem.

Cheers,
Sergey
