VMWare ESX 3.0 teething problem - cross-LUN copying performance problems..

For some reason, the release candidates were running faster than the 'gold' build of ESX 3.0 so far. I wouldn't be surprised to see an ESX 3.0.1 to be released soon to address this issue. Some have wondered if it has something to do with VMFS-3 which is new in the product on this release, but I suspect it is something else other than VMFS-3.
