Sorry, literally seconds later I found it myself.  In the aforementioned
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006427

It says:
"VMware recommends using NTP instead of VMware Tools periodic time 
synchronization."

And Brian said:
"Both vmware tools and ntpdate have the huge problems of jolting the clock to 
the correct time and the possibility of time going backwards."

So...  Ok, thanks guys.  I'm convinced.  Time to change.
