I don't use vSphere replication, we have the 2 Recover Points provide the replication and synchronization. The Recover Points are configured so that SRM actually manages it, tho. The replication speed seems pretty good to me, altho I don't have numbers right at hand. We did have an issue where we had to interrupt a testing plan, and that locked up SRM, and apparently corrupted the RP tables. We had to have EMC connect in remotely to fix it, by removing SRM as the RP manager, breaking the connection link, and re-establishing. And then uninstalling and re-installing SRM at both sides. (and recreating all settings - that was a nightmare couple of days). Anyway, once they re-established the link between the 2 RPs, they did re-synchronize overnight. Mind you, they weren't that far out of sync, but there were like 23 LUNs that had to synchronize.
