I turn off time-sync in vmware tools and run ntp-  in .../VMHOST.vmx
    tools.syncTime = "FALSE"

It keeps good time, doesn't care much how busy VMHOST  is, and does not
require all the special configuration.  A normal redhat install does an ntp
setup.  Use your own ntp server or make sure your firewall lets the public
ones through.
