Nice description.  I was just sitting here steaming mad at how long everything takes and decided to do a Google search of "why does the vsphere web interface suck so badly?" and this thread popped up.  LOL. 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...

Thanks for this post! I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get this installed on CentOS 6.4.  UUID was the final piece that kept failing because I didn't realize that I didn't have enough of the develoment tools installed.  I did a "yum -y groupinstall "development tools" and it gave me enough to finally complete the make. Then, I realized that I needed to yum install the devel UUID packages.  What a pain, but finally the installer finished. Thanks! -Derek
