The behaviour I see with vmware (long 'sync' time) doesn't seem

Mmm.. Okay, all of my machines normally have VMWare-WS installed on them,
so that might just be the culprit.
Mmm.. so the intent is to affect only VMWare itself, not the rest of the
system while VMWare is dormant. I guess it's time to disable loading of
the VMWare modules and reboot. Bye bye uptime! Maybe I'll install
2.6.16-rc3 while I'm at it.
I'll follow-up with results in an hour or two.
Okay, results are non-conclusive, because 2.6.16-rc3-git1 breaks VMWare;
the vmmon module no longer compiles. Unstable kernel non-API issue again.
So I'm back on 2.6.15 until that gets fixed.
Cheers
