I've found the easiest way to fix the time sync issue is to add the following to each guest's VMX file:
tools.syncTime = "TRUE"
And then make sure vmware-tools is installed in each guest. If the host's clock is kept in sync (via ntpd in my case), then the guests will stay in sync as well.
Of course, the root of the issue is the amount of interrupts/second that various kernels generate. Reducing the amount of interrupts tends to reduce load on the host. In Linux this can be solved via a kernel recompile and setting HZ down to a lower value. In FreeBSD (my OS of choice) its even easier, just add the following to<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/boot/loader.conf and reboot:
