Hello all, i have a Server 2003 Enterprise server running on proliant DL380 G5's with dual 3.0 xeon quad core cpus, 4gb memory commited to guest. All of a sudden i've notied it is horribley slow. takes forever to do anything within on the guest. other machines on the esx hosts run fine. the cpu looks like its getting pegged on guest itself, but the VI performance graphs show that it averages around 200-300Mhz.

Pretty much all the guest settings are vanilla. I try not to customize that stuff if ever at all possible.

So if the guest cpu is pegged, but its barely touching the host cpu counters, what could be going on here? I've had this vm up for abou 2 years without problems (as far as i know).
