Anyway, just FYI, we had a POC of Red Hat CloudForms, which is a kind of universal virtualization management console for different virtual environments. It can connect to AWS, OpenStack, vSphere, and several others and control them via a common interface with automated workflows. When we hooked it into our vSphere, it was able to manage everything much faster and more smoothly than VMware's own web client!
So, even a 3rd party management console uses vCenter's APIs more efficiently than whoever wrote the VMware web interface. That tells me that it needs a LOT of optimization...
That's the thing. I believe CloudForms uses Flex too for the UI. So, it is more of an implementation issue that the technology itself. In any case, I have stuck to ESXi 5.1 because of this fiasco. What's worst is the resources required to run the Web client. Compared to the thick client the Web client does suck in every way.
