You may be running 100Hz kernel already - or somehow VMware might not be affected. In theory all virtual machines should be affected due to the way timeslices are "sliced" and the frequency of context switches and IRQ updates that tend to kill performance.

To quote part of the link you sent me: "further, running 1000hz kernels on other virtualisation sw works just smoothly. this means, with some effort, it is possible to fix this issue."
It's possible other sw has better handling of higher ticking frequencies - I haven't used VMWare specifically for the last couple years. But from a google search I did for vmware and 100hz, they do have guides and tips for this kind of thing, mentioning it:

So, I guess I'll have to check it myself when I happen to use vmware again. For virtualbox it does make a difference, that much I can say.
