ESX works fine indeed. But when you run something like rtpengine with a
moderate volume in a guest, from the guest its perspective all if well
(near 0% CPU usage). From the host its perspective it spends a large
amount of CPU time just scheduling the network interrupts for all those
tiny RTP packets, the amount is largely dependent on the ethernet cards.
