Your machine is way underpower and underRAM, I am amazed you can even run VMWARE and a Linux guest on it.
Have you try: 1. run VMWARE in Full screen windows. 2. is your Linux kernel SMP? (see VM knowledge base) 3. what about your Linux guest CPU usage? Swap usage? Windows might report 5% but its what the linux guest sees that counts. VMWARE is a very good emulation but it is still an emulation. Doing near real time codec conversion on a AMD <1GH machine with 386MB might be too much. 4. Did you do bridge networking on the guest OS? NAT will invoke additional performance penalty, and have a big effect on your SIP call. 5. What about the other "cards" in your system? Do they need a lot of interrupts from the PC? Check your perfmon for interrupts per second. CPU usage is only one piece of the pie.
