Hmm... just wondering: what happened to the VMware/ACPI interaction
issues that some people were reporting here?

There were some discussions and it seemed that ACPI idling the processor
while VMware really wanted to use it was the cuplrit. Any resulting
changes?

I'm running 2.4.22-pre10 now and my WindowsXP inside VMware runs
horribly slow. It gets considerably better if I leave an USB device
plugged in (which causes ACPI to use C2 only and never go into C3), but
it still isn't full speed.
