      Ok, so I've run ESXTOP and I've checked the top line "load average" which indicates usage is fine. But what about the second row of numbers? Any VMware guys with some input, are these numbers ok?

      In particular "%USED" & "%WAIT"

      Thanks

          Thanks, so %wait doesn't matter as much as %vmwait which looks fine to me!
