The only advice from this rookie is to backup the gold master before you crash it by updating to a new kernel or install VM Tools from a newer WS or Server. Those are reported to be peppier with RHEL than the ones from ESX.
Give it more RAM, put the disk image on a faster drive. All the things
that apply to real systems still have the same effects.
