that is a common misconception... If you are going to run anything production in VMware:
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf is a must-read.
ntpd or heavy use of ntpdate will slaughter the performance of your VMs. VMware has a timekeeping function already, just poorly documented.
all that being said... SPLAT works great in VMware, and if you really try hard... IPSO does too :]
