There are some issues with older versions of the e1000g driver that can create issues in vmware. This results in normal performance for compute and disk intensive things but very sluggish behavior when doing some forms network I/O... I've opened a case with Sun for a previous employer but we were never 100% able to reproduce it. However, UDP traffic seemed to be a large contributor to this. Anyway, SRSS on VMWare used to have severe issues for some users no matter the configuration settings in ESX. Using the latest version of ESX and a recent copy of Solaris 10 should however work reasonably well.
