I run citrix in VMware GSX, and I have an identical physical citrix box.
Both production.
 I wish I would have put it in ESX with SMP because the citrix box can only
use 1 processor which isnt good(even with GSX dual processor license).
 I would say VMWare burns 20-30% of the resources(the physical can probably
handle 20-30% more connections).
 The performance problems I see is the physical disk, and mainly the
processor. 1 3Ghz processor is only good for maybe 23-25 processes.
 Overall I do like it though. If my manager messes up the virtual citrix
server I just revert it to the last snapshot and its fixed. If he messes up
the physical one, I've got a a solid week of redoing it ahead of me.
