Anybody familiar with VMWare tuning?

[Brian Karas]

I've got a couple of windows guests (SQL Server and IIS) running on a fairly
beefy CentOS box (64 bit, dual quad-core, Dell 2950 I think).  Everything
just seems way slower than it should.

I don't have enough experience to really dig into it.  If anyone has any
suggestions/tips/ideas/etc it would be much appreciated.  I'd like to figure
out the best way to allocate resources to get a fairly decent response time
and stability.
