This very much depends on the hardware your host system is running on and the guest OS you're using.

Host is Ubuntu 8.04.1 on dual-core 3GHz Intel, 2Gb memory, and the guest is FreeBSD 7.0. I know that none of this is officially supported, but I had no say in it. The box is going to get more memory soon, as it can barely support three virtual hosts.

There is clock sync information by VMWare.

The fix for a FreeBSD guest is "kern.hz=100". I've been monitoring the host with Nagios, and I've seen the NTP clock drift by up to a minute before re-syncing; probably not good for ordinary replication...
