Not that I am casting the first stone, but anyone using FC as a production machine should have his orchideae removed. > guest is RHEL4, and the speed is frightfully slow.

Time using TCP? Ftp push? Ftp pull? Http pull? etc. Also - what is the hardware diff between old slow host and new fast host? Should not cause such a drastic effect, but go figure. Just for the heck of it, push large ICMP packets (i.e. ping -s, aka ping of death). I rather suspect the memory bus and its effect on vmware (esp. should vmware knows not the machine).
