Simple VMware.
However we are looking at ESX for later this year.
We did discover at least part of the problem with the high utilization.
As part of the debugging process, I went thru the event log and discovered a
spooler error.
We reported this to our server team and asked if this could cause the condition
that we are experiencing.
This was their response and after the server guy did his thing, we are running
much better.
Thanks for the responses to my question.
"You guys need the spooler service for any reason? It's got a corrupt perfmon
dll for the spooler service. Doesn't seem like a big deal right? Well, I've
seen these perflib errors kill a servers performance before. If you don't need
performance monitoring on the spooler service I would recommend running the
Extensible Counter Tool from MS to disable the spooler counter so it won't keep
trying to retrieve this info. Let me know if you want me to do this."

Is this the ESX server product or a simple VMWARE machine?
Our company has a very good reason to consider ESX and we are about to
test Server Sensor in it. Anyone had any experience with this?

Most likely the problem lies in the memory swapping.
The OS inside VMware swaps and the native OS swaps, they all use the
same drives so they all wait for their turn to do something.
There is a very good reason no to deploy SP in a VMware.

Anyone have any experience with this, the guy is pegging 100%?
Thanks,

Reboot does not clear it up.
If I stop the issdaemon, it drops, and when I start it goes to 100%
