VMs get stuck few secs in 65% during vmotion

Hi everyone, I am trying to find out if this is a normal behavior or not. During a vmotion i m running perfmon to see whats going on. I see some disconnections in perfmon graphs. please see attached file. Also during vmotion I am monitoring the windows system time. It goes one by one till vmotion comes to 65%  time stucks and when it comes back I can see 8 to 10 seconds have gone. lets say time is 10:00:00 it counts 01 - 02 - 03 (vmotion 65%) 11 - 12 - 13... It seems like screen freezes and when it comes back 10 seconds have passed. Also you can see non existent seconds from perfmon graph. when I continuously ping the server, only 1 ping loses, all others are just fine. I am experiencing this issue on ESX5.1 and 5.5 running latest everything including vcenter and all system firmwares. Please comment if you are having the same issue, because at the end of the day, every vmotioned VM comes to me as a service failure. People started to ask me to stop vmotion and stop DRS. Which I am not willing to do. Thanks
