Hi,
I ran through a strange problem last days.
I've a VM (Windows 2008 R2 SP1) on a ESXi 5.0.0, 515841 host with VM Tools 8.6 installed (VM Version = 8).
When I copy multiple files from a network share to the local drive of the VM (D:\), it takes long time (aprox 12 sec for 50Mo/450 files).
If I uninstall VM Tools from the VM/Reboot and start the copy again it takes only 5 sec for the same folder to copy from network share to the VM !
Anyone encountred this problem ?
