I have no experience with it, but this comment from the list archives
indicates that vmware slows down I/O by adding an extra layer between
Oracle and the disks:

I'd be curious to see specific numbers from someone running a fixed set
of Oracle I/Os (e.g. a large table scan & a large index range scan)
against the same hardware with and without VMWare. Anyone on the list
done anything like that to get precise timings?
