I don't know that answer when running VM Ware, though I do know that it is not
a problem under Xen.
Xen is very god at offering near metal-speed to the guest "Domains"... Also,
since you see the underlying hardware, there is no problem w/ diddling the
burner devices...
I still have a lot to learn about Xen, but I expect it will pay off! One thing
Xen really wants is CPUs that support Virtualization.
It also apears that Xen makes use of some features that are in 32-bit CPUs and
not in 64-bit ones - namely, execution rings. The 32-bit CPUs have 4 rings
(0-3)and it sounds like the 64-bt ones don't (or if they do, Xen can't make use
of rings 1 & 2...)
Neat stuff!
I'm wating on the final quote for my new server and it is definately going to
run Xen!

Next question:
I want to burn a CD while in a VM, how well does that work out?
