      Try the 4.1 instead.

      It could be interesting to see if its a 5.x issue.

        I was on 4.1, I just went to 5.1 :)

        Its not as bad with 5.1 and 5.1 seems to manage the cpus much better all machines are using less but it is still unusable :(

              It would appear that I have resolved this in my situation anyway.

              It turned out to be the physical nic setting in vmware was set to 100meg full duplex.

              I changed this to auto negotiate and it still negotiates to 100meg full deplux but the problem totally goes away!!

              If I switch it back to specifying 100meg full duplex I get the problem again so it is defiantly that setting.

              Thanks for the help Supermule

              So if anyone is having similar issues check this setting!
