This seems typically a problem of VM configuration.

If you use VMWare, did you check that you setup correctly the VM memory 
parameters ?

We had a similar problem, and it was due to ballooning, where RAM is stored on 
hard-disk instead of RAM.
Force the VM to use all the reserved memory.
Probably your 2008 server was configured correctly, because the settings are 
correct when you create a computer, not when you convert an existing computer 
to a VM.

Chris, John,

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a vm with Server 2008 as a base OS
(instead of 2003) and it seems to help considerably. I did a couple of
trials and the set of merge modules took only 10+ minutes. The 2003 based vm
takes ~ 90 minutes. The real hardware (with 2003) takes about 20-30 minutes.

I haven't yet attempted to quantify what the bottleneck is/was, but moving
to Server 2008 seems to be the simplest mechanism moving forward.
