I've heard secondhand conversations about how much better it performs with certain workloads. Workloads that do significant memory page searching and updates especially. I've heard that the overhead for virtualization is dramatically reduced for those workloads. Keep checking the VMmark results page, we should start seeing Nehalem servers soon: http://www.vmware.com/products/vmmark/results.html Well, the Nehalem’s were released today.

I've seen statements that it *should* results it greatly improved performance but have yet to see any benchmarks on the internet. This was added with VMWare Fusion 2.0.2 and now with the new Nehalem Mac Pro's it should be possible to test.
