I've never dealt with VMWare until recently so I'm not familiar with it.
I think there's a few on the list that are.
I asked the admin at our data center to compile a new CentoOS 5 kernel
for one of our systems so that it would support a module I need for AVG.
He got it done, but it took him 5 hours to do it. He said half the time
was waiting for it to do its thing, the other half was actual work. He
did not compile the module I need (that's for me to do).
I've compiled many kernels and on the slower machines it takes about 20
minutes. Why does it take so long with a VMWare hosted virtual machine?
TIA,

I'm seeing in that range:

It's not fast, but it's by no means painfully slow either.
