Terminal server 2008 virtualization ?

Good day.

I have been searching the internet on virtualization 2008 terminal server. I am now running several installations of 2008 terminal server on several ESX 3.5 installations.

My hardware boxes:

HP DL380 dual quad core 3GHz.

20 GB of ram

P400 controller with 512MB of cache

Local mirror of 300GB SAS

Most of my virtual servers running 2008 terminal server are having poor performance... When running with 20 logged on users the performance is really bad.

When running default applications like office

I tried different settings on my virtual machines 1 vCPU and dual vCPU with reservation. All my 32bit installations have 4GB reserved RAM.

Anybody have a good idea of tweaks for better performance ?

It looks like 2003 R2 terminal servers have a lot better performance.
