Not that I am casting the first stone, but anyone using FC as a production
machine should have his orchideae removed.

Numbers for flood ping are not that meaningful - so the machine can live
with interrupts and ICMP. 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).

FC4 delenda est.
