Hello,
    We are running into some performance issues with libpcap when running
under VMWare products such as VMWworkstation or VMServer. These are guest
OSes (running as a VM process on a host operating system.)

Does the performance change if you compare capturing packets with the network interface in promiscuous mode vs not in promiscuous mode?
