So I had a look at vmworld.com for Linux best practices the one thing
that jumped out is that they recommend not allocating more than 768 mb
ram. There are some other things which if any one has time can try.
Install VMWare tools and adjust some kernel parameters for the timers.
The method
I think ESXi v4 allows you to "grow" your disks.

You can create growing hd images as you can with server and workstation,
however this is not a function built into VIC, and you would have to use the
ESX command line, or the CLI tools for ESXi

I must be smoking something because I was able to create a HD with as
much as needed on ESXi platform.

locked off that entire chunk of memory. WIth the linux version I can over subscribe my memory. I can reserve 2 GB per machine for example, but the VM only uses as much RAM as it actually needs at that moment. Chris

ESXi will definitely give you a decent performance increase. However
what will make a much bigger impact is if you get a hardware RAID
controller and make sure it has BBWC on it, and move your datastore
and virtual servers onto a hardware RAID 0. The more disks you stripe
across, the bigger

There will be a slight performance increase from not having the host OS take
up resources, but assuming you are using a chip with VT or similar
technology, your gain will be minimum. As far as a sluggish web interface
goes, we experience that on our production server, so its probably not

I am currently using VMWare Workstation to run all the UC

true hyper visor, will increase the performance of any VM when
compared to Workstation. For the most part UCM runs fine with
Workstation but I do agree that sometime
