vSwitch setup for performance

[Roma2]

Currently I have two esxi hosts. Each has two nics connected to a vswitch for all of our VMs. The VMs are spread across five VLANs that are tagged on the port groups and the two physical nics are trunk ports on the switch. Would I get better performance if I put each VLAN on its own separate vswitch with its own nic and set the physical nics as access ports on the switch?

Thanks.

I don't think so. The VM's are assigned to the 2 uplinks in a round-robin manner once powered on. Note that with separating the network into two vSwitches with one uplink each, you will even loose redundancy.

If you want to monitor vmnic traffic/usage, run esxtop from the host's CLI, and press "n" for networking.
