Windows XP very bad performance on ESX

[Red_Squirrel]

We have a few XP VMs used for various things where it's not worth having a server OS. I've noticed that latetly all of them perform VERY badly. They lock up all the time, and are just generally very slow. It's impossible to actually do a proper shut down of one, as it just lags so bad. Have to do a force reset.

Anyone ever see this before?

we have over 3000 XP desktops and don't have any issues. Have you seen this?
